This paper was highly influential on Hermann Oberth and Wernher Von Braun, later key players in spaceflight.

Hermann Julius Oberth ( 25 June 1894 – 28 December 1989 ) was an Austro-Hungarian-born German physicist and engineer.

By his own account and that of many others, around the age of 11 years old, Oberth became fascinated with the field in which he was to make his mark through reading the writings of Jules Verne, especially From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, re-reading them to the point of memorization.

In 1912, Oberth began the study of medicine in Munich, Germany, but at the outbreak of World War I, he was drafted into the Imperial German Army, assigned to an infantry battalion, and sent to the Eastern Front against Russia.

In 1915, Oberth was moved into a medical unit at a hospital in Sighisoara, Transylvania, in Austria-Hungary ( today Romania ).

" Hermann Oberth was finally awarded his doctorate in physics with the same rocketry paper that he had written before, by the University, Cluj, Romania, under professor Augustin Maior, on May 23, 1923.

In parts of 1928 and 1929, Oberth also worked in Berlin, Germany as a scientific consultant on the first film ever to have scenes set in outer space, Frau im Mond (" The Woman in the Moon "), which was directed and produced by the great film pioneer Fritz Lang at the Universum Film AG company.

) Oberth moved to Peenemünde, Germany, in 1941 to work on Nazi German rocketry projects, including the V-2 rocket weapon, and in about September 1943, he was awarded the Kriegsverdienstkreuz I Klasse mit Schwertern ( War Merit Cross 1st Class, with Swords ) for his " outstanding, courageous behavior ... during the attack " on Peenemünde by Operation Hydra, part of Operation Crossbow.

Oberth was allowed to leave Nurmberg to move to Switzerland in 1948, where he worked as an independent rocketry consultant and a writer.

Oberth eventually came to work for his former student, Wernher von Braun, who was developing space rockets for NASA in Huntsville, Alabama.

Among other things, Oberth was involved in writing the study, The Development of Space Technology in the Next Ten Years.

In 1958, Oberth was back in Feucht, Germany, where he published his ideas on a lunar exploration vehicle, a " lunar catapult ", and on " muffled " helicopters and airplanes.

In 1984 he was awarded the " Hermann Oberth Gold Medal " by the German Rocket Society " Hermann Oberth-Wernher von Braun ".

The primary cause for the VfR's gaining world wide appeal was due to the writings of mathematician Hermann Oberth who detailed, in a 1923 publication entitled The Rocket into Interplanetary Space, the mechanics of placing a satellite into Earth orbit.

Although Oberth is often credited as the main technical consultant to the film, Ley's role was of central importance.

Oberth was tasked with building a small rocket, to be launched at the film's premiere.

He also joined Germany's amateur rocket movement, the Verein für Raumschiffahrt ( VfR-" Society for Space Travel ") which was centered on Oberth.

A major stimulus for the project was Friedwardt Winterberg's inertial confinement fusion drive concept for which he received the Hermann Oberth gold medal award.

The trophy is named after the late founder of ASTRA, Oscar Swiglehoffer, who was also a personal friend and student of Hermann Oberth, one of the founding fathers of rocketry.

Since rocket scientist Hermann Oberth worked as an advisor on this movie ( he had originally intended to build a working rocket for use in the film ; time and technology kept this from happening ), it was popular among the rocket scientists in Wernher von Braun's circle at the Verein für Raumschiffahrt ( VfR ).

This paper was highly influential on Hermann Oberth and Wernher von Braun, later key players in spaceflight.

At this time Berthold Seliger began to build rockets in this society, which was renamed the Hermann Oberth society.

In the same year a Rocket / Technical Society was created, initially known as DAFRA, then as the German Rocket Society ( Deutsche Raketengesellschaft ) or DRG, and finally as the Hermann Oberth Society ( Hermann-Oberth-Gesellschaft ) or HOG.

Hermann Oberth worked on the design during 1941, and in December 1941 Walter Thiel proposed that the A10 use an engine composed of six bundled A4 engines, which it was thought would give a total thrust of 180 tonnes.

Hermann Oberth was also a native Romanian, born in Sibiu.

Honoring the technical contributions of Hermann Oberth, the famous rocket scientist born in Sibiu, the Engineering Faculty adopted his name, and now is called the " Hermann Oberth " School of Engineering.

Therefore, from 1924 through 1938, Oberth supported himself and his family by teaching physics and mathematics at the Stephan Ludwig Roth High School in Mediaş, Romania.

In 1938, the Oberth family left Sibiu, Romania, for good, to first settle in Austria, then in Nazi Germany, then in the United States, and finally back to a free Germany.

Around the end of World War II in Europe in May 1945, the Oberth family moved to the town of Feucht, near Nuremberg, Germany, which became part of the American Zone of occupied Germany, and also the location of the high-level war-crimes trials of the surviving Nazi leaders.

Along with his followers, the German Hermann Oberth and the American Robert H. Goddard, he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics.

" Oberth criticized the German system of education, saying " Our educational system is like an automobile which has strong rear lights, brightly illuminating the past.

Oberth later worked on solid-propellant anti-aircraft rockets at the German WASAG military organization near Wittenberg.

It is named after Hermann Oberth, the Austro-Hungarian-born, German physicist and a founder of modern rocketry, who apparently first described the effect.

Karl Poggensee and the Hermann Oberth society ( succeeded by the DAFRA, German work company for affairs of rocket ) operated between 1952 and 1957 a launch site for small rockets with a maximum flight level of some kilometers, close to this farm.

The Hermann Oberth society is an association named after Hermann Oberth, the German astronautics pioneer, which develops and builds rockets and trains engineers in space technology.

In 1993 the Hermann Oberth society and the Otto Lilienthal society united to form the German Society for Air and Space Technology, DGLR.

It is named after the German physicist Hermann Oberth.

In 1953, Oberth returned to Feucht, Germany, to publish his book Menschen im Weltraum ( Men in Space ), in which he described his ideas for space-based reflecting telescopes, space stations, electric-powered spaceships, and space suits.

* Luigi Gussalli ( 1885 – 1950 ), astronautics pioneer since the ‘ 20s, corresponded with international space scientists such as Oberth and Goddard.

Hermann Oberth ( 1894 – 1989 ), one of the early fathers of space travel, lived for many years and died in Feucht.

They included, but were not limited to: the Bader class scout, Baker class destroyer, Chandley class frigate, the Enterprise class cruiser ( the refitted Constitution-class introduced in Star Trek: The Motion Picture ), Derf class survey ship, Larson class destroyer, Loknar class frigate, Nelson class scout, Northampton class frigate, the so-called Reliant class cruiser ( the FASA name for the movie-era Miranda class cruiser ), the Mission class transport, Royal Sovereign class battlecruiser, M ' benga class hospital ship and the Sagan class science ship ( an upgrade of the canon Oberth class starship ).
