<\/p>\nWernher von Braun was a German-born aerospace mastermind and space mastermind who played a pivotal part in the development of rocket technology. He was born on March 23, 1912, in Wirsitz, Germany( now Wyrzysk, Poland), and passed away on June 16, 1977, in Alexandria, Virginia, United States.<\/p>\n
Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun was born on March 23, 1912, in Wirsitz, Germany( now Wyrzysk, Poland). From an early age, von Braun showed a keen interest in space and rocketry. He studied engineering at the Berlin Institute of Technology and joined the German Society for Space Travel( Verein f\u00fcr Raumschiffahrt) in 1929.<\/p>\n
Von Braun’s career took off when he joined the German Army’s rocket development program in the early 1930s. He snappily rose through the species and became the specialized director of the Peenem\u00fcnde Army Research Center, where he oversaw the development of the V-2 rocket during World War II. The V-2 rocket was the world’s first long-range guided ballistic bullet and played a significant part in the war.<\/p>\n

After Germany’s defeat in World War II, von Braun and a group of German scientists surrendered to the United States. Under Operation Paperclip, von Braun and his platoon were shot to the U.S. to work on rocket technology for the American service. He became a U.S. citizen in 1955.<\/p>\n
In the United States, von Braun worked for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency( latterly renamed the Marshall Space Flight Center) and played a vital part in the development of the Redstone, Jupiter-C- C, and Saturn rockets. These rockets became necessary in launching America’s first satellite, Discoverer 1, and ultimately, the Apollo operations to the Moon.<\/p>\n
Von Braun’s leadership and moxie in rocketry led to his appointment as the first director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in 1960. He played a pivotal part in the development of the Saturn V rocket, which propelled the Apollo operations to the Moon. His vision and specialized chops were necessary for the success of the Apollo program, and he became a prominent advocate for space disquisition.<\/p>\n
Throughout his career, von Braun penned multitudinous specialized papers and papers on rocketry and space disquisition. He was also a popular public speaker and appeared in colorful TV shows to promote the idea of space trips. Von Braun’s passion for space disquisition and his attractive personality helped induce public support for the Apollo program.<\/p>\n
Von Braun retired from NASA in 1972 and joined the private sector as Vice President of Engineering and Development for Fairchild Diligence. He entered multitudinous awards and honors for his benefactions to space disquisition, including the National Medal of Science and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<\/p>\n
