Max Valier gilt als bedeutender Wegbereiter der Raketentechnik . Er besuchte das Franziskanergymnasium in Bozen und studierte an der Universität Innsbruck das Studium der Astronomie, Meteorologie, Mathematik und Physik. Der Astronom Valier entwickelte Raketenpläne und suchte unter schwierigen Umständen einen Finanzier für die Verwirklichung. Ende 1927 konnte er mit dem Autoindustriellen und Rennfahrer Fritz von Opel einen finanzkräftigen Förderer gewinnen. Ab 1928 entstand eine Reihe von Versuchsfahrzeugen. Angetrieben wurden diese von Pulverraketen, die Friedrich Wilhelm Sander lieferte. Valier sah die aus der Zusammenarbeit mit dem „schnellen Fritz“ entstandenen Raketenautos als eine erste Vorstufe für die Weltraumrakete.
Auf dem zugefrorenen Starnberger See gelang Valier 1929 mit dem Raketenschlitten RAK BOB ein Geschwindigkeitsrekord von über 400km/h. Im Januar 1930 führte er in dem Labor in den Berliner Heylandt-Werken erfolgreiche Versuche mit Flüssigtreibstoffen durch.
Am 17. Mai 1930 starb Max Valier durch eine Explosion während des Probelaufs eines neuartigen Triebwerks, mit welchem er für die Firma Shell Versuche mit Paraffin durchführte. Er gilt damit als erstes Todesopfer der Raumfahrt. Seine technischen Errungenschaften hielten jedoch Einzug in die moderne Raumfahrttechnik.
Inspiriert durch den Innovations- und Pionier-Geist von Max Valier und darüber dass Technik über Generationen hinweg Träume und Wünsche erfüllen kann, wurde im Jahr 2020 die Max Valier Holding von den Unternehmern Hannes Mahlknecht (Dipl. Inf.) und Rüdiger Nitz (Dipl.Ing.) gegründet.
Max Valier è considerato un importante pioniere della tecnologia
missilistica. Ha frequentato il liceo francescano di Bolzano e ha
studiato astronomia, meteorologia, matematica e fisica all'Università di
Innsbruck. Valier, un astronomo, ha sviluppato piani razziali e, in
circostanze difficili, ha cercato un finanziatore per la loro
realizzazione. Alla fine del 1927 riuscì a trovare uno sponsor
finanziariamente forte nell'industriale automobilistico e pilota da
corsa Fritz von Opel. A partire dal 1928 fu costruita una serie di
veicoli sperimentali. Questi erano alimentati da razzi a polvere forniti
da Friedrich Wilhelm Sander. Valier ha visto le auto a razzo risultanti
dalla collaborazione con il "fast Fritz" come una prima fase
preliminare per il razzo spaziale.
Nel 1929, Valier riuscì a
stabilire un record di velocità di oltre 400 km/h sul lago ghiacciato di
Starnberg con la slitta a razzo RAK BOB. Nel gennaio 1930 effettuò con
successo dei test con propellenti liquidi nel laboratorio della
Heylandt-Werke di Berlino.
Il 17 maggio 1930, Max Valier morì in
un'esplosione durante la prova di un nuovo tipo di motore con il quale
stava conducendo dei test con la paraffina per la Shell. Egli è quindi
considerato la prima vittima del volo spaziale. Le sue conquiste
tecniche, tuttavia, hanno trovato la loro strada nella moderna
tecnologia spaziale.
Ispirata dallo spirito innovativo e
pionieristico della Max Valier e dal fatto che la tecnologia può
realizzare sogni e desideri nel corso delle generazioni, la Max Valier
Holding è stata fondata nel 2020 dagli imprenditori Hannes Mahlknecht
(Dipl. Inf.) e Rüdiger Nitz (Dipl. Ing.).
Max Valier is considered an important pioneer of rocket technology. He attended the Franciscan grammar school in Bolzano and studied astronomy, meteorology, mathematics and physics at the University of Innsbruck. The astronomer Valier developed rocket plans and, under difficult circumstances, sought a financier for their realisation. At the end of 1927 he was able to find a financially strong sponsor in the car industrialist and racing driver Fritz von Opel. From 1928 onwards, a series of experimental vehicles was built. These were powered by powder rockets supplied by Friedrich Wilhelm Sander. Valier saw the rocket cars resulting from the collaboration with the "fast Fritz" as a first preliminary stage for the space rocket.
In 1929, Valier succeeded in setting a speed record of over 400km/h on the frozen Lake Starnberg with the RAK BOB rocket sled. In January 1930, he carried out successful tests with liquid propellants in the laboratory at the Heylandt-Werke in Berlin.
On 17 May 1930, Max Valier died in an explosion during the test run of a new type of engine with which he was carrying out tests with paraffin for the Shell company. He is thus considered the first fatality of space flight. His technical achievements, however, found their way into modern space technology.
Inspired by the innovative and pioneering spirit of Max Valier and the fact that technology can fulfil dreams and wishes for generations, the Max Valier Holding was founded in 2020 by the entrepreneurs Hannes Mahlknecht (Dipl. Inf.) and Rüdiger Nitz (Dipl.Ing.).
