HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - The family of a former German rocket
scientist who helped the U.S. send astronauts to the moon has
donated his papers and memorabilia to the University of Alabama in
Huntsville.
    The collection from the family of Konrad Danneberg includes

the work of the propulsion pioneer and original member of von
Braun’s team.
