Emilio Herrera Linares
Emilio Herrera Linares ( February 13, 1879 , Granada, Spain – September 13 1967, Geneve, Switzerland) ) was a Spanish military engineer and physicist. He graduated from the military academy of Guadalajara in 1902; he subsequently researched aeronautics, including a brief period at the University of Santander. He was father of the poet José Herrera Petere. He is best known for his work in cosmology and pioneering studies for high altitude flight, spaceflight, computing, and for designing a pressurized space suit that was to be used in a planned stratospheric balloon flight in 1936.
During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), he remained loyal to the Second Spanish Republic. In 1937, he was made a general. He was a minister in several governments of the republic in exile, and president of the republic between 1960 and 1962.
