Everything about The American Rocket Society totally explained

The American Rocket Society (ARS) began its existence on April 4, 1930, under the name of the American Interplanetary Society. It was founded by science fiction writers G. Edward Pendray, David Lasser, Laurence Manning and others. The members originally conducted their own rocket experiments in New York and New Jersey. The society printed its own journal. The AIS did pioneering work in testing the design requirements of liquid-fuelled rockets, with a number of successful test launches occurring in this period and pointing the way to the United States space program. Its name was changed to American Rocket Society on April 6 1934. Membership increased rapidly in the 1950s as the government funded of "upper air research", and by the end of the decade it had reached 21,000. In early 1963 the ARS merged with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
