1939, the world's first missile A- 1 was successfully launched from Germany, which opened a new era of human military weapons.
1942, V- 1 and V-2 missiles were successfully launched. 1944 From June to September, Germany launched V- 1 and V-2 missiles to London. In the late World War II, Germany also developed "Rhine Daughter", X-7 anti-tank missiles, X-4 line guided air-to-air missiles and other surface-to-air missiles.
These missiles were all developed under the leadership of wernher von braun.
1965438+On March 23rd, 2002, Wernher wernher von braun was born into an aristocratic family in Wilschz, Germany, and then moved to Berlin with his family.
Wernher wernher von braun's mother is an excellent amateur astronomer.
She coaxed little Weiner's curiosity.
A telescope she gave her son inspired Braun's interest in space and became the beginning of the growth process of a great scientist.
As a student, Weiner showed a unique spirit of exploration.
/kloc-at the age of 0/3, he conducted his first rocket experiment in the luxurious embassy district of Berlin and was arrested by the police, but this did not affect the young Weiner's interest in rocket launch.
His curiosity drove him to keep experimenting with homemade rockets.
However, it also delayed his review of his lessons and made him fail in math and physics in an exam.
Hitler was interested in rocket technology.
During Hitler's visit to the launch test-bed 1939, Braun was assigned to tell the Fuehrer about the technical principles.
Braun explained the basic structure of the rocket to Hitler with his usual serious and rigorous attitude, just as he later analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the lunar connection scheme for US President Kennedy.
But he soon found that Hitler's introduction to him almost went in one ear and out the other. The Fuehrer's eyes sparkled only when V-2 was mentioned.
Braun began to feel vaguely that the future of his space dream would be uneven.
1944 in March, Wernher wernher von braun was arrested by the Gestapo.
The reason for the recorded arrest was that he and his colleagues stated together that they never intended to develop rockets into weapons of war.
All the research and development work they are engaged in under the pressure of * * * is just to make money to do their experiments and prove their theories.
Their purpose is always space travel.
Therefore, Braun may be convicted of treason and shot.
In the end, Braun was released because of his friend's rescue and insufficient treason.
He came to the United States after World War II, and the research team led by Braun invested in another great human project from the beginning.
The Saturn V rocket he presided over was a tool to send Americans to the moon.
This is a monster, with 9 million parts of the whole system and ground auxiliary equipment.
These components must work together accurately. After four ignitions, the spacecraft will be sent to the moon, and then it will return to Earth for recycling.
"Saturn V" should be synonymous with "perfection", because it not only successfully sent "Apollo 1 1" carrying Armstrong to the moon, but also performed almost perfectly on the flights of Apollo 6, 7 and 9 to 17 every time.
This is a miracle.
This is a miracle created by Braun and his scientists with their talents.
In the early 1970s, Brown, who worked for NASA, began to develop the space shuttle.
He made a lot of contributions to the introduction and formation of this plan.
65438-0975, Braun was hospitalized for intestinal cancer and was discharged soon.
Although he was very ill, he went on working happily.
Braun called himself one of the few truly satisfied people in the world.
1977 June 16, Wernher wernher von braun died of intestinal cancer in Washington, USA, at the age of 65.
The space career of mankind will always be closely linked with the name Braun.
