American Rocket Society

Summary

This is a water-jacketed rocket motor made in 1932 or 1933 by members of the American Rocket Interplanetary Society (later called American Rocket Society). The motor was meant for ARS Rocket No. 2 but was left unfinished and abandoned because it was realized that water as a coolant would have been ineffective.

This object was donated to the Smithsonian in 1966 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
