ROCKET ENGINE INVENTION
Of the many inventions in Science, rocket invention tops the list.
Robert Goddard launched the world’s first liquid fueled rocket in Auburn,
Massachusetts. It takes a rocket 8 mins to reach a speed of 15,000 mph.
Before Goddard most of the rockets used solid fuel to propel the rockets.
6
The combustion gases in a solid rocket motor are at a temperature of 6,100
degrees Fahrenheit, which is two thirds the temperature on the surface of
the sun.
The liquid fuel rocket was invented by Robert Goddard. It took its
first flight on March 16, 1926. Goddard developed two of the main designs
which are regarded as milestones in space flight. One was the multi-stage
rocket and the second one, liquid fuel rocket design.
Rocket innovation dates back to as early as 1200 AD. It was used in
China for warfare against the Mongols. But rockets were mainly used in
warfare and in fireworks. It wasn’t until the 20th century that rockets were
being experimented for spaceflight. One of the main pioneers in space
flight is a Russian mathematician, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. In his earliest
manuscripts, Astronomical Drawings, he wrote about the solar system and
ways of motion in free space and zero gravity.
Tsiolkovsky drew the primitive design of a true Space Craft, which
moved in outer space with the help of reactive forces. He designed the
space rocket model. He never actually built a rocket but this model he
designed was a three level rocket with a control room, decompression
chamber, oxygen tanks and water filled “bathtubs” to alleviate the G-loads
of launch and re-entry. On the third level he installed the machinery with
liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks and steering rudders through the
exhaust at the bottom. He published “the Space train rockets” in 1929
which was about multi-stage rockets in which he mentions that multi stage
rockets is the only way to reach escape velocity and fly into orbit.
His work had the mathematical formulas for space travel, space suits
and even space showers for the astronauts. He suggested that liquid
hydrogen and oxygen will be required to travel to space. But his work did
not get any credence and was mostly ignored at that time until later when
he was given the recognition in Soviet as the inventor of rocket. But Robert
Goddard is credited with the liquid fuel rockets which he came up with in
the 1920s. Jerome Hunsaker a rocket scientist wrote, “Every liquid-filled
rocket that flies is a Goddard rocket”. He is today credited as the Father of
Space age.
He got dedicated to developing a rocket after his inspiring day on
October 19th. He was ridiculed as the moon-rocket man by a local
newspaper. He did not take too much interest in his schoolwork. But later
on Charles Lindenbergh took interest in his work and convinced Daniel
Gugenheim to give him a $50,000 grant. The Grant helped him to relocate
to Roswell in New Mexico to conduct his experiments. It is here that he
made a lot of progress in developing a gyroscope stabilizing device to get
7
his rocket in a straight path into the air and also fitted it with a parachute
recovery system which is used to this day. But his work was not taken
seriously by the US military. On a parallel note Wernher von Braun from
Germany was put in charge of rocket experimentation and he developed
the “A series” rocket engines. His work was similar to Goddard’s.
