Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Hello, my reading friend. How are you? […] Good, good. Now that the name of French space exploration pioneer Louis Damblanc is no longer unknown to you, the time has come to see why the name of that engineer is worth knowing. In March 1932, Damblanc carried out a series of solid propellant rocket tests in Saint-Cyr-l’École, France, a suburb of Paris, in collaboration with the Institut aérotechnique, a research establishment located in that town. He wished to obtain precise data on the
