The centennial of the world's first successful launch of a liquid-fueled rocket on March 16th, 1926--by none other than 'Father of Modern Rocketry' Robert H. Goddard '08--is quickly approaching. In celebration of this momentous day in history, WPI Archives & Special Collections has curated a digital exhibit about the life of Robert Goddard--from his time as a student at WPI to the role his wife, Esther C. (Kisk) Goddard, played in preserving his legacy. Several interactive elements are also included throughout the exhibit, such as 3D digitizations of experimental rocket parts, snapshots of some items from the Robert and Esther Goddard Collection, teaching tools, and resources related to upcoming celebrations of this historic event.
