[229] Robert Goddard studying one of the early pump models in his Roswell shop, September 1938
No full textPhotograph of Robert Goddard studying one of his early pump models in his Roswell, New Mexico workshop, September 1938.
Beginning in September 1938 and running through September 1941, Robert Goddard would work on developing high-speed centrifugal turbine-driven pumps for liquid propellant rockets. By 1938, Goddard felt he had covered everything needed for successful high-flying rockets -- except for a turbine that could drive high-speed pumps to force propellants into the chamber. So, Goddard and his team spent the Fall of 1938 conducting a thorough study of twenty proving-stand tests with five models of small, centrifugal pumps. These tests laid the groundwork for Goddard\u27s P-Series of tests (P1-P34), which began January 1939 and ran into October 1941, and consisted of a variety of flight and static tests with pump-fed rockets.
Esther would describe this phase of her husband\u27s research as the most trying of his career. With war approaching, Goddard wanted something to present to the military in the hopes of attracting them to rocketry. The military did take interest in rocketry and contracted Goddard and his team for the Navy and Army Air Forces to work on developing a liquid-propellant jet-assisted takeoff unit (JATO). However, the P-Series proved too much to take on; while the first liquid-propellant rocket flight using pumps did take place, the series was largely a series of frustrations and hiccups. Despite receiving more money over the years for research than any civilian for a single project before World War II, his was too small an operation to reach even greater heights than he had known. The P-Series of tests can be seen in Reel 9 and Reel 10 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels.
\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.

(11) The Papers of Robert H. Goddard, Volume II: 1925-1937 [1934-1937: Return to New Mexico; Pressure-Tank Rockets]
No full textMeticulously curated and edited by Esther C. Goddard and G. Edward Pendray, The Papers of Robert H. Goddard is a 1700-page 3 volume set published in 1970. The set presents a careful and exhaustive chronological presentation of Robert Goddard’s life through diary snippets, notebook entries, correspondence, publications, speeches, patent outlines, school papers, press, reports and more.
This section covers Robert Goddard\u27s life from mid-1934 through 1937. During this time, Robert and Esther Goddard began their second stint in Roswell, New Mexico for Guggenheim funded rocket research (the first was 1930 to 1932). This one would last from 1934 to 1942. During this period Goddard also achieved the first flight of a rocket faster than the speed of sound and published Liquid-propellant Rocket Development .
