Rocketry Mentors, Rocketry Practitioners and Unique Space Pioneers

摘要

The Apollo operations on the Moon constitute a happening in the 20th Century that will be acknowledged in history for many centuries in the future. Historians and the Apollo participants themselves agree that an essential factor in the success of the lunar missions was the 'team' circumstances that prevailed. Hence, it is historically valuable to identify those team members who began their space careers in Germany and, after World War II, came to the United States and ultimately provided the experienced core of the Apollo rocket transportation team. It is informative to compile special lists of those core team members whose careers satisfy pertinent criteria. (C) 2015 IAA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
