While in his twenties and early thirties, von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He helped design and develop the V 2 rocket at Peenemunde during World War II.

He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. In 1960, his group was assimilated into NASA, where he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. He advocated for a human mission to Mars. Good Condition.
