Collection of writings by Hsue-Shen Tsien Author: Tsien, Hsue-Shen Place: Publisher: Date: 1950-1953 Description: Seven items: Tsien, Hsue-Shen. “Rockets and other Thermal Jets using Nuclear Energy.” The Science and Engineering of Nuclear Power, Volume II: pp. 177-195. Boston: Addison-Wesley, 1949. Original cloth. With the 1952 ownership signature of Robert V. Meghreblian, one of Tsien’s doctoral student proteges at CalTech, later deputy assistant director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory whose division delivered the science payloads for Surveyor moon probe and Mariner Mars spacecraft. "Instruction and Research at the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Center." Journal of the American Rocket Society, June 1950. Eight highly-technical Tsien monographs, some as co-author, appearing in 5 issues of the Journal of the American Rocket Society, Sept. 1951 to Feb. 1953. All in original wrappers. Titles of the 8 technical monographs: "Optimum Thrust Programming for a Sounding Rocket"; "Transfer Functions of Rocket Nozzles"; "Similarity Law for Stressing Rapidly Heated Thin-Walled Cylinders"; "Automatic Navigation of a Long Range Rocket Vehicle"; "Method for Comparing the Performance of Power Plants for Vertical Flight"; "Serbo-Stabilization of Combustion in Rocket Motors"; "Physical Mechanics, a New Field in Engineering Science"; and Properties of Pure Liquids". The 1950 piece by Tsien was published almost to the day that FBI agents first grilled him about allegations that he was a Communist – the start of his four year-ordeal as a suspected subversive. The other eight were written after he was arrested. Because of his knowledge of scientific secrets, Tsien was placed under virtual house arrest, allowed to teach, but with his security clearance revoked, required to check in bi-weekly with a federal monitor with even his children placed under surveillance, and to leave the Los Angeles area - until he was deported China in 1955. Upon return to his country of birth he was hailed as a national hero by the Communist regime, Tsien ultimately became the “Father” or “The King” of Communist Chinese military rocketry, playing a pivotal role in producing China’s first Intercontinental ballisitic missile and its first orbital satellite.
