1 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Lecture 1: History of Rocketry and the American Space Program Marat Kulakhmetov

2 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics 2 We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g25G1M 4EXrQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g25G1M 4EXrQ

3 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics 3 The Origins Concepts required for rocket flight were developed in ancient times. –Archytas Wooden Pigeon –Hero Aeolipile  First true rockets were probably created by Chinese:  Gunpowder fireworks  Fire Arrows (1232 in a battle of Kai-Keng)  Wan-Hu rocket chair

4 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics 4 Modern Rocketry Konstantin Tsiolkovsky – A Russian school teacher developed “The Rocket Equation” and proposed to use rockets for space flight in 1898 –He discovered the advantages of multiple stages Robert H. Goddard – Published “ A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes” that described sounding rockets – In 1926 he flew the first liquid-propellant rocket that climbed only 12.5 m –He also developed jet vanes, guidance control and many other rocket systems Dr. Werner Von Braun –Helped Develop the German V-2 Rocket –Was in charge of the American Space Program that lead to the Saturn V rocket

34 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics 34 Water Bottle Rocket

35 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics 35 Fundamental Geometry Sin (Angle) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos(Angle) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan (Angle) =Opposite / Adjacent H^2 = A ^2 + O^2

36 School of Aeronautics and Astronautics 36 Measuring the Height of the Rocket When we launch the rocket we : –Will know A ( how far we are away from launch pad) –Can measure X (angle from horizon to the rocket –Can calculate O ( height of the rocket) –O = A * Tan (Angle)
