Rocketry Engineering - Goddard (HS & University)
Overview
This lesson delves into the subject of rockets from that of an engineer, specifically, this lesson explores the life and work of Robert Goddard – a brilliant engineer responsible for the development of the first successful rockets that worked based on liquid rather than solid fuel – as a case study of just how many engineering considerations go into designing something as complex as a rocket. In this lesson, we will explore Goddard’s work in detail, from his early solid-fuel rockets to his development of liquid propulsion, and finally to his shockingly futuristic visions for what rockets could look like in the future.
