Abstract
Rocket and missile technology, design and construction has become increasingly important since the end of the Second World War. Today the prestige, defense, or even survival of a nation may depend upon its rocket and missile research and development program. Satellites of Russian and United States origin are circling the earth and moon, relaying valuable information to their designers. The starting gun has sounded for the race to the stars. Cryogenic engineering operations and techniques play an important part in winning this race.
