First edition. First edition. Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. Volume 95, Number 3. 11 plates on 6 leaves. [2], 10 pp. 8vo. An important marker in the development of rocketry and space flight, the pamphlet sums up Goddard's pioneering work in rocketry over the previous two decades. On March 16, 1926 Goddard launched the world's first liquid propellant rocket, from a site near Auburn, Massachusetts, and he would continue to develop the technology for the rest of his life. He held over 200 patents relating to rocketry and space flight, and in honor of his contributions NASA named its first space-flight center after him. The pamphlet was produced in part as a report back to the Smithsonian, who had begun contributing financially to his research beginning in 1915. Original side-stitched printed wrappers; partially unopened. Minor shelfwear, but fine Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. Volume 95, Number 3. 11 plates on 6 leaves. [2], 10 pp. 8vo.…

Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's tan string-bound wraps printed in black. Very Good with toning and general wear. Eagle stamp on circular paper adhered to title page. In March of 1926, Goddard launched the world's first liquid-propelled rocket in Auburn, MA, with a small group of witnessed including his wife and several research assistants from nearby Clark University. It reached nearly 41 feet high and crashed nearly 184 feet from it's launch, smashing on impact. Goddard mostly worked independently and was highly secretively-- this is the second of only two papers he published on rocketry, though his impact was immense. Goddard theories and work anticipated many of the developments that made space-flight possible, and he is considered one of the founding fathers of modern rocketry.…

Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's tan wraps printed in black. Very Good with toning, wear to extremitities and a sizeable chip missing from the top corner of the rear cover. Eagle stamp on circular paper adhered to title page. A classic text of 20th-century rocket science and one of Goddard's most important works. In this, Goddard described his mathematical theory on rocket flight, experiments with solid-fuel rockets and what he saw as a potential to explore the upper limited of the earth's atmosphere and beyond. Considered the first treatise on using rockets for space flight, this paper ushered in an era of space flight and innovation. Within weeks of publication, the press had sensationalized this paper, causing shifts in the popular imagination through science fiction, and ultimately leading to the idea that the rocket would be the way to reach space. Goddard theories and work anticipated many of the developments that made space-flight possible.…

Washington, The Smithsonian Institution, 1936. 8vo. In recent red full cloth with gilt lettering to front board. Published as part of "Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Volume 95, Number 3, Publication 3381". A fine and clean copy. (2), 10 pp. + 11 photographic plates. First edition of Goddard's paper on liquid-fueled rocket development. Goddard is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket and is often referred to as the man who ushered in the Space Age (Pendray, Rocket Development). By temperament and training Goddard was not a team worker, yet he laid the foundation from which team workers could launch men to the moon" (DSB). Goddard was secretive about his research and only published two papers" "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes" (1919) and the present. Goddard launched the first liquid-fuel rocket on 16 March 1926 near Auburn, Mass. The ten-foot rocket, nicknamed "Nell" reached an altitude of 41 feet, traveled a distance of 184 feet and landed 2.5 seconds after lift-off in a cabbage patch. "Although his list of firsts in rocketry was distuguished, Goddard was eventually surpassed by teams of rocket research and development experts elsewhere, particularly in Germany." (DSB)."Like the Russian hero Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the German pioneer Hermann Oberth, Goddard worked out the theory of rocket propulsion independently [.] Having explored the mathematical practicality of rocketry since 1906 and the experimental workability of reaction engines in laboratory vacuum tests since 1912, Goddard began to accumulate ideas for probing beyond the Earth's stratosphere. His first two patents in 1914, for a liquid-fuel gun rocket and a multistage step rocket, let to some modest recognition and financial support from the Smithsonian Institution [.] With an eye toward patentability of demonstrated systems and with the aid of no more than a handful of technicians, Goddard achieved a series of workable liquid-fuel flights starting in 1926. Through the patronage of Charles A. Lindbergh, the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, and the Carnegie and Smithsonian institutions, the Goddards and their small staff were able to move near Roswell, New Mexico. There, during most of the 1930s, Goddard demonstrated, despite many failures in his systematic static and flight tests, progressively more sophisticated experimental boosters and payloads, reaching speeds of 700 miles per hour and altitudes above 8000 feet in several test flights" (DSB).…
