von Braun Rocket Development Corporation

The von Braun Rocket Development Corporation was a private aerospace company founded in 1950 by Wernher von Braun, a German engineer and scientist known for his work on rocket technology. The company aimed to develop and commercialize advanced rocket and missile systems during the early Cold War period. It played a key role in improving missile design and contributed to the broader progress of rocket science in the United States. While not as large as government agencies, this corporation helped pave the way for commercial space ventures and supported the U.S. military’s missile programs.
