Hermann Oberth
    NUREMBERG, West Germany (AP) - Hermann Julius Oberth, a pioneer of
the space age who worked with Werhner von Braun to help develop
Germany's V-2 rocket, died Friday after a short illness. He was 95.
    He began experiments on a conical jet motor for the German
government in 1930 and developed a model later that year. Oberth
worked on the motor with von Braun, who later became the leading
scientist in U.S. space flight development.
    He submitted a thesis on rocket experiments for his doctorate, which
was turned down as too cursory. An expanded version was published in
1923 as the book, ''The Rockets to the Planets in Space.''
    A third publication of the work in 1929, ''The Way to Spaceship
Travel,'' is today seen as a pioneering work in rocket research.
