Tiling rocket, 1932
Tiling rocket in 1932. Reinhold Tiling was a pioneering German scientist who experimented with solid-fuel rockets. In 1931 he launched four rockets, which reached altitudes of up to 2 kilometres. Later he successfully used a rocket to deliver mail between the East Fresian Islands and the mainland. In 1933 an explosion, whilst preparing one of his rockets, resulted in his death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable tiling rocket, developed by Reinhold Tiling, a pioneering German scientist in 1932. Tiling was an engineering genius and physicist who dedicated his life to experimenting with solid-fuel rockets. His groundbreaking work paved the way for future advancements in space flight. In 1931, Tiling achieved great heights when he successfully launched four rockets that soared up to an impressive altitude of 2 kilometers. However, it was his extraordinary feat of using a rocket to deliver mail between the East Fresian Islands and the mainland that truly showcased his ingenuity. Tragically, Tiling's promising career came to an untimely end in 1933 due to a devastating explosion while preparing one of his rockets. This unfortunate incident resulted in his untimely death but left behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire generations of scientists and engineers. The monochrome image portrays this brilliant engineer amidst his physical experiments. A distinguished adult Caucasian man from Germany, Tiling can be seen standing proudly beside his creation – a symbol of human ambition and technological progress during the early years of space exploration. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Reinhold Tiling's contributions to rocketry and physics during the early 20th century in Europe. It encapsulates both the triumphs and tragedies faced by those who dare to push boundaries and explore uncharted territories for scientific advancement.
