The VFX model auctioned off in 2006 by Christie's. [45] The Oberth-class was designed by David Carson, and built at Industrial Light & Magic. [46] The model was made for the 1984 theatrical film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, where it depicted a ship called the "USS Grissom". [46]
Hermann Oberth as a young boy, c. 1901. Oberth was born into a Transylvanian Saxon family in Nagyszeben (Hermannstadt), Kingdom of Hungary (today Sibiu in Romania); [8] and besides his native German, he was fluent in Hungarian and Romanian as well. At the age of 11, Oberth's interest in rocketry was sparked by the novels of Jules Verne ...

Wege zur Raumschiffahrt. Wege zur Raumschiffahrt (Ways to space travel) is a book by Hermann Oberth. Written in German, it was published in 1929 by the Munich Oldenbourg publishing house [1] and was considered a standard work in rocketry for a long time. It was - with a new title and completely revised - the 3rd edition of Oberth's first book ...
Space mirrors are satellites that are designed to change the amount of solar radiation that impacts the Earth as a form of climate engineering. The concept was first theorised in 1923 by physicist Hermann Oberth [1][2][3][4] and later developed in the 1980s by other scientists. [5] Space mirrors can be used to increase or decrease the amount of ...
American interest in " gravity control propulsion research " intensified during the early 1950s. Literature from that period used the terms anti-gravity, anti-gravitation, baricentric, counterbary, electrogravitics (eGrav), G-projects, gravitics, gravity control, and gravity propulsion. [1][2] Their publicized goals were to discover and develop ...
In previous films, Starfleet's range of capital ships had been predominantly represented by the Constitution-class Enterprise and just five other ship classes: the Miranda class from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the Excelsior and the Oberth class from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and the Galaxy and Nebula classes from The Next ...
v. t. e. In astronautics, a powered flyby, or Oberth maneuver, is a maneuver in which a spacecraft falls into a gravitational well and then uses its engines to further accelerate as it is falling, thereby achieving additional speed. [1] The resulting maneuver is a more efficient way to gain kinetic energy than applying the same impulse outside ...
