A short-lived magazine created in Huntsville Alabama by ABMA engineer B. Spencer Isbell. Originally intended as a fund-raising vehicle to help support the Rocket City Astronomical Association the magazine was so successful that it is believed to have sold in excess of 100,000 copies of some issues.
The Board of Consultants included Hermann Oberth, Dr Eugen Sanger, Helmut Hoeppner, Frederick I. Ordway III, Hubertus Strughold, Ronald C. Wakeford and others. Associate Editors included Mitchell R. Sharpe Jr, Ralph E. Jennings and James L. Daniels Jr.
