Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application.

  • MORABA Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles
    MORABA Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles Mobile Rocket Base German Aerospace Center Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles 1.1. Introduction The research vehicles offered by MORABA have been used by a wide spectrum of payloads, differing in mass, complexity and transport requirements. In order to serve the needs of any payload and transport requirement, MORABA relies on a large portfolio of rocket motors that it uses in single stage as well as stacked configurations. MORABA constantly strives to enhance the portfolio of active rocket motors in order to improve its transport capacities or replace systems that run out of stock. Although the developments in liquid, gelled and hybrid propulsion are closely followed, the high power density, operational simplicity and safety of solid rocket motors have led to their exclusive use by MORABA so far. A large portion of the active portfolio is formed by motors with military heritage. These motors are conceded to MORABA or its partners from governments that tear down a fraction of their armory. As usually these motors have exceeded their shelf life, inspection and re-lifing efforts become necessary. Many successful missions prove the flight worthiness of these motors which are not least attractive due to their competitive price. The second group of the portfolio is made up by motors available from third parties. Here, MORABA is constantly evaluating potential candidates. A longstanding cooperation with the Brazilian Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) has led to frequent use of its S31 and S30 rocket motor stages. At current, MORABA is also developing a solid motor stage with Bayern Chemie GmbH and acquiring some units of Magellan’s Black Brant V.
