The two most significant publications in the history of rockets and
jet propulsion are A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes,
published in 1919 and Liquid-Propellant Rocket Development,
published in 1936. All modern jet propulsion and rocket engineering
are based upon these two famous reports. By arrangement with the
estate of Dr. Robert H. Goddard and the Smithsonian Institution,
the American Rocket Society republished the papers in 1946. The
book contained a foreword written by Dr. Goddard just four months
prior to his death on 10 August 1945. The book has been out of
print for decades. Because of the importance of the Goddard papers,
the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is pleased
to bring this significant book back into circulation. Though
rockets had been in use for more than 700 years, it was not until
Goddard undertook his lifelong work on the development of high
altitude rockets that modern scientific and engineering methods
began to be applied. It is a tribute to the fundamental nature of
Dr. Goddard's work that these reports, though more than half a
century old, are filled with data of vital importance to all jet
propulsion and rocket engineers.These reports form one of the most
important technical contributions of our time.
