Backround
[edit]The technological advancements in photographic technology and rocketry during the end of the 19th and the start of the 20th Century made rocket photography possible. By 1880 exposure time had been reduced to 1/1000 seconds in experimental cameras, this allowed for photos with minimal motion blur at high speeds (Chronophotography). Solid fuel rockets capable of carrying a camera, such as the Congreve rocket and Hale rocket had been available since the early 19th century.
Early attempts
[edit]The first documented instance of a photograph taken from a rocket is the April 1897 photograph from the Nobel rocket(proposed by Alfred Nobel but designed and manufactured by Oscar Ljungström or Wilhelm T. Unge.[1] There is also an instance of rocket photography published on the satirical Czech magazine Světozor [2], but it is undetermined whether this stunt was staged or was real. In 1912 the Maul Camera Rocket was demonstrated to the Austrian army for battlefield reconnaissance. With the development of Aircraft further research was halted until developments in liquid rocket technology allowed for photographs of earth from space.
