The development of the world's first practical design for an ICBM, A9 / 10, intended for use in bombing New York and other American cities, was undertaken in Nazi Germany by the team of Wernher von Braun under Projekt Amerika.

The progenitor of the A9 / A10 was the German V-2 rocket, also designed by von Braun and widely used at the end of World War II to bomb British and Belgian cities.

Following the war, von Braun and other leading German scientists were relocated to the United States to work directly for the U. S. Army through Operation Paperclip, developing the IRBMs, ICBMs, and launchers.

In 1954, JPL teamed up with Wernher von Braun ’ s rocketeers at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency ’ s Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, to propose orbiting a satellite during the International Geophysical Year.

The concept of a lunar rover predated Apollo, with a 1952 – 1954 series in Collier's Weekly magazine by Wernher von Braun and others, " Man Will Conquer Space Soon!

" In this, von Braun, who had come to America from Germany under Operation Paperclip and was a leader at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, described a six-week stay on the Moon, featuring 10-ton tractor trailers for moving supplies.

In the February 1964 issue of Popular Science, von Braun, then director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center ( MSFC ), discussed the need for a lunar surface vehicle, and revealed that studies had been underway at MSFC in conjunction with Lockheed, Bendix, Boeing, General Motors, Brown Engineering, Grumman, and Bell Aerospace.

With an urgent need to determine the feasibility of a two-man LSSM, von Braun bypassed the usual procurement process and had P & VE's Advanced Studies Office directly task BECO to design, build, and test a MTA for the vehicle.

Wernher von Braun was the HVP technical director ( Dr Walter Thiel was deputy director ) and there were nine major departments:

The chemist Magnus von Braun, the youngest brother of Wernher von Braun, was employed in the attempted development at Peenemünde of anti-aircraft rockets.

Rocket scientist and space architect Wernher von Braun, writer Arthur C. Clarke, and other early advocates expected until the 1960s that a space station would be an important early step in space exploration.

In 1959, von Braun, head of the Development Operations Division at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, submitted his final Project Horizon plans to the U. S. Army.

Although concentrating on the Moon missions, von Braun also detailed an orbiting laboratory built out of an Horizon upper stage, an idea used for Skylab.

In November 1964, von Braun proposed a more ambitious plan to build a much larger station built from the S-II second stage of a Saturn V. His design replaced the S-IVB third stage with an aeroshell, primarily as an adapter for the CSM on top.

In mid-1935 Wernher von Braun initiated a fuel pump project at the southwest German firm Klein, Schanzlin & Becker that was experienced in building large fire-fighting pumps .< ref name = Neufeld >

In the late 1920s, a young Wernher von Braun acquired a copy of Hermann Oberth's book, Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen ( The Rocket into Interplanetary Space ).

An artillery captain, Walter Dornberger, arranged an Ordnance Department research grant for von Braun, who from then on worked next to Dornberger's existing solid-fuel rocket test site at Kummersdorf.

Following successes at Kummersdorf with the first two Aggregate series rockets, Wernher von Braun and Walter Riedel began thinking of a much larger rocket in the summer of 1936, based on a projected 25-metric-ton-thrust engine.

The third view, which von Guericke discusses at length, but does not attribute to any individual, is that Space is a creation of the human Imagination.

Warren served as supervisor of the EDVAC project ; central to his discussion are J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly and their disagreements with administrators over patent rights ; discusses John von Neumann's 1945 draft report on the EDVAC, and its lack of proper acknowledgment of all the EDVAC contributors.

An Arabic manuscript of Ibn Wahshiyya's book Kitab Shawq al-Mustaham, a work that discusses a number of ancient alphabets, in which he deciphered a number of Egyptian hieroglyphs, was later read by Athanasius Kircher in the 17th century, and then translated and published in English by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall in 1806 as Ancient Alphabets and Hieroglyphic Characters Explained ; with an Account of the Egyptian Priests, their Classes, Initiation, and Sacrifices in the Arabic Language by Ahmad Bin Abubekr Bin Wahishih, 16 years before Jean-François Champollion's complete decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

In 1891 he branched out into railroad car manufacture, naming the company Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriksgesellschaft, and employed Hugo Fischer von Roeslerstamm as technical director in 1890.

During the Second World War, General Dornberger was the military head of the army's rocket program, Zanssen became the commandant of the Peenemünde army rocket centre, and von Braun was the technical director of the ballistic missile program.

This became the Ordnance Guided Missile Center ( OGMC ), with Maj. James Hamill as acting commander and von Braun as technical director ).

The administrative activities in MSFC were led by persons with backgrounds in traditional U. S. Government functions, but all of the technical heads were individuals who had assisted von Braun in his success at ABMA.

Late in 1936 Erich Warsitz was seconded by the RLM to Wernher von Braun and Ernst Heinkel, because he had been recognized as one of the most experienced test-pilots of the time, and because he also had an extraordinary fund of technical knowledge.

However, he did not take into account the systemic technical problems with German U-Boat and aerial torpedoes which were unreliable, and blamed von Wild and the air units instead for failing to achieve much success.

One of many awards Ziegler received was the Werner von Siemens Ring in 1960 jointly with Otto Bayer and Walter Reppe, for expanding the scientific knowledge of and the technical development of new synthetic materials.
