[210] Robert Goddard with relay-operated camera, April 1938
No full textPhotograph of Robert Goddard crouching down with a relay-operated camera mounted to be fixed at any inclination, located between (launching) tower and 140-foot shelter, April 1938 (annotation by Esther Goddard). This photograph is associated with flight test L28 which was held on April 20, 1938. Benefactors and sponsors Charles Lindbergh and Harry Guggenheim wanted to get a high-altitude flight on record by the National Aeronautics Association (NAA), official record keeper in the field. The NAA sent their official barograph, pictured here, while New Mexico Military Institute superintendent Colonel D.C Pearson chaired a committee of observers. While the flight was a success, reaching an altitude of 4,215 feet according to the recording telescope, the barograph did not survive the flight. This prevented the flight from being verified by the NAA.
Between May 11, 1936 and August 9, 1938, Robert Goddard conducted the L-Series of tests in Roswell, New Mexico. Goddard and his wife Esther lived in Roswell from 1930 to 1932 and 1934 to 1942 as a result of Guggenheim-funded grants, allowing Goddard to conduct his research and experiments with rocketry. The L-Series consisted of thirty flight tests divided into three sections (A; L1-L7; B; L8-L15; C; L16-L30) testing ten-inch diameter motors in nitrogen-pressured rockets. Seventeen of these tests were flights tests, while the other thirteen were static tests. The L-Series tackled a range of variables and challenges that came with building larger rockets. Reel 8 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels contains 22 minutes of footage from the \u27L\u27 tests.
\u27The Goddard Rocket Researches: A Photographic Record\u27 is an annotated photo album covering Robert H. Goddard\u27s work and experimentation with rocketry. It was assembled and curated by Esther Goddard sometime after her husband\u27s passing in 1945. Additionally, almost all of the photographs were taken by Esther herself.

[178] Robert Goddard with batteries and relay at tower, May 19 1937
No full textPhotograph of Robert Goddard crouched down, working with batteries and relay next to the launching tower the day of test flight L15, which took place on May 19, 1937. The rocket for this test had streamlined retractable air vanes and a wire-wound pressure storage tank. This flight saw improved stabilization and an altitude of 3,250 feet.
Between May 11, 1936 and August 9, 1838, Robert Goddard conducted the L-Series of tests in Roswell, New Mexico. Goddard and his wife Esther lived in Roswell from 1930 to 1932 and 1934 to 1942 as a result of Guggenheim-funded grants, allowing Goddard to conduct his research and experiments with rocketry.

Reel 8 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels contains 22 minutes of footage from the \u27L\u27 tests.
The missiles constructed for this L-Series started out shorter and heftier (at about eighteen inches in diameter), and grew longer and leaner over the course of the tests. By L7, Goddard switched from one larger motor to four smaller combustion chambers. The consistent problem preventing high altitude flights was the burning of combustion chambers. Goddard steered away from methods of regenerative cooling that had been developed and stuck to curtain cooling. Goddard and his team, not to mention the Guggenheim Foundation funding him, would have to wait until L13 to achieve another high-flying rocket.
