A man holds two rockets. The one shown on the left with the white nose is a double rocket. (These were demonstrated for the Navy at Meppen.) Flag flying over a cabin (named "Arenshorst," by Reinhard Tiling) as rocket firing trials get underway on the island of Wangerooge in the North Sea,during December 1930. Reinhard Tiling emergea from the cabin, carrying a long slender rocket . His assistant Angela Buddenboehmer, and another man (possibly Richard Tiling) follow him across the sand dunes. Two photographers are present and several other men. Tiling inserts the rocket into a launch frame already set up. The team elevates the launcher and Tiling makes some adjustment. At a signal from Tiling, Angela Buddenboehmer pushes a plunger on the ignition control box and the rocket fires and rises. Reinhard Tiling, Buddenboehmer, and Richard Tiling watch it in the sky. Several more launches are shown. Pictures of rocket projectile missiles being launched at Dummersee on April 15, 1931, and of larger missiles at later times.
Scenes from the production, during 1928, of the German science fiction movie, Woman in the Moon (Frau im Mond) that premiered in 1929. The director, Fritz Lang, received technical advice from rocketry and space flight theorist, Hermann Oberth. Two men walk to a large mockup of the film spacecraft rocket sitting in an open field. A hinged model of the spacecraft rocket opens showing its interior. Shots of the rocket moving in a hangar and then moving out of the hangar. The rocket firing and racing into the sky, and a booster rocket detaching from it. Other rockets depicted moving across the night sky.
View of Johannes Winkler's personal laboratory workshop in 1928. His first apparatus for testing liquid rocket fuels. The first device to be considered a flying testbed for Winkler's liquid rocket. The rocket with test facility. More laboratory apparatus. Test apparatus erected outdoors. Snow on the ground, and houses visible in background. Test equipment with spring force measurement capability. Winkler at his outdoor setup.
German Rocket pioneer Johannes Winkler and his liquid fueled HW2 rocket. Diagrammatic drawing of the HW2 liquid fueled rocket, that Winkler designed based on his prior experience with the HW1c. He considered liquid fuel the key to achieving stratopheric heights. Dr. Winkler in his laboratory with rocket models. He is seen outdoors, setting the HW2 on a launch stand. Views of the HW2 ready for launching. View of data recording devices built by Dr. Winkler. Cold fumes seen from liquid oxygen. View inside laboratory of HW2 with its data instrumentation. Original Shear diagrams for the HW1c and HW2 rockets. The HW2 in its casing and a cutaway drawing of it. View of quick opening valve for liquid methane and liquid oxygen.
Dr. Johannes Winkler, rocket pioneer. Laboratory workers pose next to outer casing of HW2 liquid fueled rocket. Dr. Winkler making adjustment on the HW2. View of HW2 standing on its tail on the ground beside the launch control building. Assistant holds slate warning of explosions, and Winkler and his assistants toast the rocket's completion by drinking beer from bottles. Camera pans vertically over the rocket. Winkler opens a flush door in the rocket and places something inside. Winkler seen describing features of the rocket for the camera, while his staff stands nearby.
