Astronauts of the US space agency NASA have taken more than 9 lakh photographs from space so far. These pictures have now become a worldwide identity, but do you know that the first picture of the earth was taken from the Nazi rocket V-2 of German dictator Adolf Hitler, not America or Russia. The V-2 rocket took this historic picture from space on October 24, 1946.

Black and white This picture was not of the whole earth, but only a part of the earth was visible in it. In the later days, when the technology was more advanced, then the full picture of the earth was drawn. Michael Neufeld, official of the National Air and Space Museum of America, said in a conversation with the Inverse website that this was a big achievement for the year 1946. It was considered big news. It is said that this was the world’s first weapon to run at supersonic speed.

America took this picture with a Nazi rocket
The story of how this picture was taken is also very interesting. This image was taken with a 35mm film camera placed in the middle of the fuel tank of Hitler’s V-2 rocket. The US had captured some of Germany’s V-2 rockets after the end of World War I. After this these rockets were tested from the White Sand Missile Range. According to experts, after this only rocket launch from the desert of New Mexico, cold war, space race and scientific experiments in space started in the world.

American scientists and engineers were aware of rocket launches, but the end of World War II led to the end of the Nazi regime. After this many German scientists went to America with the technology of V-2 rocket. Hitler wanted to drop a one-ton bomb on the enemy’s city with the help of this rocket, but his experiment was unsuccessful due to the heavy cost. However, German scientists had achieved great success in terms of technology. Michael Neufeld says that with the help of this rocket, new doors opened in the world of rockets or missiles to go to space.

After World War I, both the US and Russia took more and more possession of Germany’s V-2 rocket so that they could study it and make it better. America was first trying to protect itself from weapons like V-2 and then wanted to make its own V-2 rocket. The US attempt to put scientific equipment in the upper part of the V-2 rocket was very challenging. Cameras were installed on it but it was very difficult to find them when they fell to the ground. At that time there were no GPS or parachutes for German rockets. America got success in taking a wonderful picture of Earth from space in its 13th attempt.
