The Von Braun Rocket Team

The Von Braun Rocket Team was a group of German scientists and engineers led by Wernher von Braun who developed advanced rocket technology during World War II. They created the V-2 rocket, the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile. After the war, the team was brought to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip, where they contributed significantly to NASA’s space programs, including the Apollo missions to the Moon. Their expertise in rocketry helped transform space exploration from science fiction into reality, making them key figures in the history of rocketry and space technology.
