[135] Albert Kisk, Harry Guggenheim, Robert Goddard, Charles Lindbergh, Nils T. Ljungquist, and Charles Mansur at launching tower, September 25 1935
No full textPhotograph of Albert Kisk (machinist and brother-in-law), Harry Guggenheim, Robert Goddard, Charles Lindbergh, Nils T. Ljungquist (machinist), and Charles Mansur (welder) in front of the launching tower on September 25, 1935.
All of Goddard\u27s grant-funded research in Roswell, New Mexico came from the Guggenheim Foundation. Goddard\u27s friendships with Harry (and before him, Daniel) Guggenheim and Charles Lindbergh were what made Goddard\u27s rocketry research financially possible. Goddard and Lindbergh first met back in 1929 and became good friends. In his book Rocket Man: Robert H. Goddard and the Birth of the Space Age, David A. Clary concludes that Goddard\u27s ability to gain annual funding for eight consecutive years in Roswell between 1934-1942 had far more to do with Lindbergh\u27s influence with Guggenheim than Goddard\u27s accomplishments during that time.
Lindbergh flew in on September 22, 1935, accompanied by Harry and Carol Guggenheim, to a flurry of press and security. The purpose of this visit was to show Guggenheim that Goddard deserved a second year of funding in Roswell. Between unfit weather and unsuccessful tests, the visit did not yield a flight demonstration. These tests would be \u27A11\u27 and \u27A12\u27 in the \u27A\u27 series of tests and can be seen between 10:21 and 10:59 on Reel 5 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels.
From September 1934 through October 1935, Robert Goddard and his crew conducted what they named their \u27A\u27 series of tests in Roswell, New Mexico. The \u27A\u27 series of tests used simple pressure feed, gyroscopic control using vanes, and parachutes.
\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.

During this time, Goddard achieved his greatest success on March 16, 1926, with the first ever flight of a liquid-propellant rocket. This period also saw a 1929 flight that attracted a great deal of public attention, as well as the beginning of an important friendship with Charles Lindbergh who would also become a significant benefactor.

[335] Robert Goddard and his staff at Naval Engineering Experiment Station, Annapolis, Maryland, July 1942-July 1945
No full textPhotograph of Robert Goddard\u27s staff at Naval Engineering Experiment Station, Annapolis, Maryland, July 1942-July 1945. This photograph was likely taken in 1942 when this team was first put together. Front row, left to right: Albert Campbell (construction and design engineer), Nils T. Ljungquist (supervisor of construction; worked for Goddard 1931-1945), Robert Goddard, Dr. Howard Alden (research engineer; associated with Goddard\u27s research from 1938-1945), Charles Mansur (test engineer; worked for Goddard 1929-1945). The back row, left to right: Arthur Freund (construction and design engineer), Lowell Randall (test engineer), George Bode (test engineer), Glenn Loughner.
Starting in September 1941, Robert Goddard began a period of government contact work for the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy Department that would extend through the rest of his life. Goddard\u27s Roswell site was used from September 1941 until moving operations to the Navy Engineering Experiment Station in Annapolis, Maryland in July of 1942. Goddard had been looking for military opportunities since the start of World War II, as questions of national defense became a top priority. Following a period of frustrations, obstacles, and feeling left out of the breakthroughs happening around him re: jet propulsion and rocket-propelled piloted aircraft, he finally secured government work. Goddard and his associates would work on a liquid-fuel, assisted-takeoff unit for aircraft, which required modifying and adapting his rocket from the vertical to the horizontal. The variable-thrust rocket motor he perfected during this period would posthumously become the basis for the Curtiss-Wright engine on the Bell X-2 supersonic research aircraft. Footage from Robert Goddard\u27s 1941-1945 government work can be seen in Reel 11 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels.
