Dr. Goddard's 1926 rocket configuration. Dr. Goddard's liquid oxygen-gasoline rocket was fired on March 16, 1926, at Auburn, Massachusetts. It flew for only 2.5 seconds, climbed 41 feet, and landed 184 feet away in a cabbage patch. From 1930 to 1941, Dr. Goddard made substantial progress in the development of progressively larger rockets, which attained altitudes of 2400 meters, and refined his equipment for guidance and control, his techniques of welding, and his insulation, pumps, and other associated equipment. In many respects, Dr. Goddard laid the essential foundations of practical rocket technology.

A century ago, a small rocket rose from a snowy field in Massachusetts and changed the world.

On March 16, 1926, Robert H. Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket. Working nearly alone, Goddard proved that controlled liquid propulsion was possible. That single experimental flight became the foundation of modern rocketry and opened the door to satellites, human spaceflight, lunar missions, and today’s journeys toward Mars.

In honor of this milestone anniversary, we invite you to revisit the moment that ignited the Space Age during a special presentation led by one of our subject matter experts. Explore the significance of this historic milestone and its lasting impact on today’s rocket technology and human space exploration.

These presentations are included with admission.
