... Canadian astronomer, William Leitch (1814-1864) who, in 1861, suggested that the rocket was a viable means of propulsion for exploring space. This suggestion, along with several other very advanced ideas ... on this topic predate several historical milestones in the history of the rocket as applied to space flight, as well established in the literature of the history of astronautics (the science of ...

Image:Black_Brant_I_testbed.jpg 400px The Propulsion Test Vehicle (PTV) was built from a British Skylark rocket and adapted by the Canadian Armament Research & Development Establishment (CARDE). The PTV was first fired on February 24th 1959 at CARDE in Valcartier Quebec and output 20,000 lbs for 20 seconds. It would provide the basis for the Black Brant sounding rocket.

... three successive steps: (1), development of a “Registering rocket” (i.e. a sounding rocket) that was also a research vehicle to work out basic propulsion problems besides gathering critically needed data about the upper atmosphere and near space; (2), development of a “Long-Distance Rocket; and finally, (3), the development of a true “Space Rocket.” Hence ...

... propulsion systems capable of performance far greater than is achievable with the present generation of rocket engines using chemical propellants. Viable missions going deeper into interstellar space will be even more demanding. Propulsion ... of presently known technology. Achievable propulsive power is a particularly limiting factor, since this determines the acceleration that may be obtained. Conventional chemical rocket engines have specific propulsive powers (power per unit engine ...
