Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," and the earliest era of spaceflight was dominated by pioneers of just two nationalities, Soviet and American, before other countries joined in. Browsing this way collects every pioneer from a single country.FactsNationalitySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField Origin EraWell-attested1926 1NationalityFilter Results16 entriesRoleAllAmerican Spacecraft and Rocket Engineers (5)Chinese Spacecraft Engineers (1)Early Rocket Experimenters (2)German Rocket Engineers (5)Soviet and Russian Spacecraft Designers (2)Spacecraft and Rocket Engineers of Other Nations (5)Birth YearAll1772 (1)1889 (1)1893 (1)1894 (2)1895 (1)1897 (1)1900 (1)1902 (3)1903 (3)1904 (2)1906 (3)1907 (2)1908 (3)1909 (1)1910 (3)1911 (4)1912 (4)1913 (2)1914 (3)1915 (2)1917 (4)1918 (1)1919 (4)1921 (2)1922 (1)1924 (3)1926 (1)1929 (1)1931 (1)1934 (1)1935 (1)1944 (1)1961 (1)1965 (2)1974 (1)1985 (2)AgencyAllAerojet Rocketdyne (1)Ames Research Center (2)Blue Origin (2)China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (1)China Academy of Space Technology (1)China National Space Administration (1)Impulse Space (1)Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (1)ISRO (1)Jet Propulsion Laboratory (1)Lockheed Corporation (1)Lockheed Martin (1)Marshall Space Flight Center (3)NASA (2)North American Aviation (1)NPO Energomash (1)NPO Lavochkin (1)NPO Mashinostroyeniya (1)OKB Fakel (1)Peenemünde Army Research Center (2)Progress Rocket Space Centre (1)Reaction Engines Limited (1)Roscosmos (2)Soviet space program (2)SpaceX (1)TRW Inc.
