Short Snorter Run #65, K-25, 25 March 1953. [Description from photo index.]. A "Short Snorter" liquid rocket motor was tested in March 1953 at the JPL Edwards Test Station (ETS). Initially, the Short Snorter was a Corporal E-type booster motor to be used for an anti-aircraft rocket, with a thrust of 100,000 pounds per second and acid-aniline as its oxidizer/propellant. As time went on, this test stand was used to evaluate different nozzles, injector configurations, pump pressures, flow rates, and propellant/oxidizer ratios.

Emmerson took almost all the early photos that became a part of this collection, a collection described in brief as the work product of the JPL Photolab. As JPL grew, so did the assignments to the Photolab to photograph all Laborato...
