All British Rocketry and Space Pioneers

Writers, engineers and campaigners from the United Kingdom who argued for spaceflight and helped establish it before it was an industry, including Philip E. Cleator, who founded the British Interplanetary Society in 1933, and Arthur C. Clarke, who set out the geostationary communications satellite in 1945 and became one of the best-known popularizers of space travel. A person belongs here when the cited source describes a British rocketry, space science or spaceflight advocacy career. It sits beside the American, German-speaking and Russian pioneer groups.
