long-range ballistic missiles. They were developed by Germany during World War
II, and their main designer was Wernher von Braun, later one of the main
pioneers of the American space program. The V2s were used by the Germans
mainly to attack London and other Allied cities from 1944 onward. The V2s had
a range of about 300 km and could carry an explosive charge weighing 1 ton.
The design was based on engines burning liquid fuel in a pioneering way. After
launch, the rocket would rise to an altitude of about 100 km (that's space! )
and then fall to the target at a tremendous speed, making it virtually
impossible to intercept. The V-2 was the forerunner of all modern ballistic
missiles and had a significant impact on the development of space technology
after the war.
