	Technology
		Goddard's rockets continued to lead the way technologically with the first gyroscopically stabilized rocket launched in 1932, and the highest altitude yet achieved by a rocket of 7,500 feet in 1936.
		The German military rocket program that led to the development of the V2 traces its heritage to 1932 when the army authorized Walter Dornberger to expand his research from powder fueled rockets to liquid fueled rockets.
		During the burn, a complicated set of gyros made sure that the rocket first achieved the height necessary for it to glide to its target (the rockets had a range of roughly 340 miles), and then steered the rocket towards its target.

	German vengeance weapons 1942-45
		By the time V2 rockets were ready to fire (September 1944), the Allies had captured the still unfinished bases in north France.
		V3 rockets: towards the end of the war, these longer-range projectiles could be fired from a super-long gun barrel on the French coast to reach London.
		V3, the third vengeance weapon, consisted of barrages of small rocket projectiles fired from an underground cannon and capable of reaching London from the north French coast at a speed of 1500 metres a second.

	A Brief History of Rocketry
		The earliest solid rocket fuel was a form of gunpowder, and the earliest recorded mention of gunpowder comes from China late in the third century before Christ.
		Rocket fire-arrows were certainly used to repel Mongol invaders at the battle of Kai-fung-fu in 1232 A.D. The rockets were huge and apparently quite powerful.
		The rocket researchers quickly outgrew their facilities at Kummersdorf on the outskirts of Berlin and, in 1936, operations were transferred to a remote island on Germany's Baltic coast -- Peenemuende.

	V2-Rocket
		But the third rocket launched on October 3, 1942 changed things, when the rocket followed its trajectory perfectly and landed 120 miles away, and became the first man-made object to enter space as well as the first man-made machine to exceed the speed of sound.
		The V2, however, weighed nearly 12 tonnes and was powered by a liquid oxygen/alcohol mixture.
		During tests, the rocket was painted in a characteristic fl/white chessboard pattern which aided in determining if the rocket was spinning around its own longitudinal axis.

		The V2 carried an explosive warhead (Amatol Fp60/40) weighing approximately 738 kg (1 ton) that was capable of flattening a city block.
		Fully fueled, the V2 had 4900 kg A-Stoff which was liquid oxygen with a temperature of minus 183 degrees Celsius, and 3710 kg of a mixture of 75% Ethyl alcohol and 25% water, called B-Stoff.
		The rocket also carried 175 kg of T-Stoff, which was 80% hydrogen, and 22 kg Z-Stoff which was a mixture of 1/3 part sodium permanganate and 2/3 part water.

	Clavius: Vehicles - rocket guidance
		As long as the rocket is in the atmosphere, steering it isn't very different from steering an airplane.
		Similarly vanes could be placed not in the rocket's aerodynamic slipstream, but in the exhaust itself so that by rotating the vanes some of the exhaust gas would be deflected at an angle and alter the direction of thrust (Fig.
		A rocket that must control its attitude without firing its main engine uses small RCS thrusters to effect a rotation.

	Flying Bombs and Rockets : V2 Rockets, The Rocket Attacks On London 1944-5
		Firstly the explosion,secondly the roar of the rocket motors catching up (because it travelled slower than the supersonic Rocket) and lastly the noise of the sonic boom from the upper atmosphere.
		The V2 Rockets had been known about by British Intelligence for some time but it had been assumed that the launch sites had been overun by the Allied invasion of Normandy.
		The V2 Attacks went on until the 18th September by which time about 14 had fallen on the London area,when they abruptly stopped because of the Allied Operation Market Garden at Arnem which forced the Rocket batteries to withdraw.

	The Evolution of Rockets
		In the latter, the fuel gradually burned off (as it did in early gunpowder rockets), and the entire fuel container was under pressure, supplying hot gas directly to the De-Laval nozzle.
		The military's rockets were larger and more ambitious, and the A2 which flew in 1934 developed a thrust of 16000 newton.
		That rocket has been described as a "stainless steel balloon," keeping its shape with the help of pressurized gas in its interior, also used in pushing out the fuel.

	Technical data V2 rocket
		The first rockets were filled with solid fuel and composed of a paper or metal tube, filled with a slow-burning composition (fl powder).
		The destructive power of such rockets should not be underestimated: during the bombing of Copenhagen in 1807 the English fired 40.000 rockets over a period of three days, destroying a major part of the city.
		Traditional rockets were driven by solid fuel; the modern German rockets, such as the V2 and the anti-aircraft rocket Wasserfall, were driven by liquid fuel.

		As chief designer, he was responsible for the R-1, based directly on the German A4 (V2) rocket.

	V-2 rocket : V2
		The V-2 rocket was an early ballistic missile used by Germany during the latter stages of World War II against mostly British and Belgian targets.
		But the third rocket launched on October 3, 1942 changed things, when the rocket followed it's trajectory perfectly and landed 120 miles away, and became the first man-made object to enter space.
		The painting of the operational V-2s was mostly a camouflage ragged pattern with several variations, but in the end of the war a plain olive green rocket also appeared.

	German V2 Rocket Launch Failures Video
		The labor for the V2 programme at Nordhausen was supplied mainly from the concentration camp at Dora.
		The V2 used a 3 vector gyro mechanism to keep its alignment straight but targetting was purely ballistic in exactly the same way that modern (ie post 1958) ICBMs were 'targetted' - by tilting.
		The V2 was the first to use inertial guidance which is what modern ballistic missiles use.

	V2 Guided Ballistic Rocket
		The German rocket troops were trained to erect 3 missiles at a time, fuel, align, and launch them in a matter of 2 hours.
		It was generally inaccurate due to errors in aligning the rocket with it's target, premature shut-off of the motor and inconsistencies in electric current in the guidance system.
		The V2 carried a high explosive warhead weighing 2,000 lbs (1 ton) that was capable of flattening a large building.

		Here is their official V2 site - note the size of the rocket compared to the people standing around it.
		The launch was magnificent but one of the clustered motors didn't ignite and the rocket bound up on the upper rail extension, ripping the rail off the launch pad and causing the rocket to veer towards the crowd.
		For a brief moment, it appeared as though the drouge chute was going to deploy, but with the rocket still at full power, the bridle was ripped from the airframe and the main never came out.

	Condor 1/72 V2/A4 Rocket
		Nevertheless, on 8 September 1944 the Wehrmacht began launching the second of Hitler’s ‘revenge weapons’ (vergeltungswaffe 2 or V-2) at the allies, with nearly 1,500 being fired before VE day, most of which were aimed at London.
		Post-war, captured A4/V-2 rockets formed the basis of both US and Soviet experiments into space flight and offensive missile development until newer designs became available in the early 1950s.
		The rocket cone also needed some sanding before it fitted into the hole at the bottom of the missile.

	Birth of V2 Rocket
		The V2 rocket was also invented and manufactured by Germany during World War II.
		Both the V1 and V2 rockets were manufactured heavily between 1938 and 1944.
		The rockets were named using the letter “V” because the letter “V” stood for "Vergeltungswaffe" (vengeance weapon); the rockets were to be used to get revenge for the Allied air invasion on Germany.

	German missiles that crashed in Sweden 1943-1944
		Heinrich Himmler had renamed the unmanned glider missile Fi 103 to V1 (Vergeltungswaffe 1, Vengeance Weapon 1), and the rocket missile which actually went by the name A4 was similarly renamed V2.
		Because of this, Swedish intelligence thought V2 was an improvement over V1, thus a glider aircraft, and as a consequence thereof they believed the rocket that had crashed in Bäckebo to be some kind of totally different weapon.
		The Bäckebo rocket was however not representative; it was a test rocket which was controlled from the ground using a joy-stick, and had been constructed withing the Wasserfall-project and targetted for air defence, that is, taking down enemy aircraft.

		The V2 Rocket, was a ballistic missile devised by the Popeland Nazis during WWII.
