Naval Research Laboratory (U.S.). Rocket Sonde Research Section.
V-2 Panel Papers.
This collection is comprised mostly of administrative memoranda of the portion of the V-2 Panel which represented the Rocket-Sonde Research Section of NRL. The thirty-four files from Rocket-Sonde members are roughly chronological and are followed by files from other entities such as the Ad Hoc Committee on Rocket, Satellite and Space Research. The material in this collection was gathered by David DeVorkin while he conducted research for his book, -Science with a Vengeance-.
The Rocket Sonde Research Section of the Naval Research Laboratory was established in 1946 and participated in the V-2 Panel (aka V-2 Upper Atmosphere Research Panel), which, with the use of captured German V-2 rockets, conducted in the 1940s and the 1950s a long series of experiments which sought to further our understanding of the technology utilized in the V-2 itself.
