Wernher von Braun (1912�1977) was one of the most important rocket developers and champions of space exploration during the period the 1930s to the 1970s. He was a member of the German rocket society Verein fur Raumschiffarht (VfR) from 1929. He lead the �rocket team� which developed the V�2 ballistic missile for the Nazis during World War II.The V�2 rocket was the immediate antecedent of those used in space exploration programs in the United States and the Soviet Union. A liquid propellant missile extending some 46 feet in length and weighing 27,000 pounds, the V-2 flew at speeds in excess of 3,500 miles per hour and delivered a 2,200-pound warhead to a target 500 miles away. V-2 production was in still existing mines at Nordhausen and the nearby concentration camp at Dora and 20,000 people died there through execution, starvation, and disease. Before the Allied capture of the V�2 rocket complex, von Braun surrendered 500 of his top rocket scientists, along with plans and test vehicles, to the Americans. For fifteen years after World War II, von Braun worked with the U.S. Army in the development of ballistic missiles. In 1960 he transferred from the Army to the newly established NASA to build the giant Saturn rockets. Wernher von Braun was director of NASA�s Marshall Space Flight Center and the chief designer of the Saturn V launch vehicle that propelled the Americans to the Moon.
