Title
Fourth Flight of a Liquid Propellant Rocket
Full Description
Dr. Robert H. Goddard's rocket is in the tower, ready for the
July 17, 1929, test at Auburn, Massachusetts. This was the
fourth flight of a liquid-propellant rocket. Rocks were piled on
pipes directly under the nozzle, on a frame suspended from the
two 3/8 inch pipe guides to keep the latter as straight as
possible by the tension produced in this way.
The noise from this particular rocket launch attracted the
attention of the entire community. When the public grew
concerned over the potential hazards of the rockets, Goddard was
forced to conduct his test flights on the Army artillery range at
Camp Devens, Massachusetts.
