Honorary member of German Aero-Space Society Lilienthal-Oberth.
Elected member International Academy of Astronautics, Paris, France.
Member of American Physical Society.
Recipient of the 1979 Hermann Oberth Gold Medal (the highest award in astronautical research given for his work on nuclear rocket propulsion).
At 26 years of age in 1955, laid the foundation for GPS system, proposing to put atomic clocks into artificial satellites, the only practical application of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Under the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 68, Dr. Winterberg's special achievements in the field of high energy physics, which have brougnt distinction to the state, and the university, were acknowledged. He was especially commended for his work on the concept of magnetic insulation in the production of ion beams and its contribution to the effort to find solutions for crucial national problems of energy production and defense.
Dr. Winterberg obtained his Ph.D. under Dr. Werner Heisenberg, and is listed as one of the four notable students of Werner Heisenberg on
Heisenberg's 'Wikipedia entry, along with Felix Bloch, Edward Teller and Rudolph E. Peierls.
Dr. Winterberg has achieved notable distinction with hundreds of internet references and entries on his behalf. (
