Foreword The International ARtronautical Federation, the first and oldest international astronautical organization, was established in 1950, long before the first artificial earth satellites had made their appearance, by a far-seeing group of engineers and scientists with a profound belief in the sparkling future of space flight. While there are at this time several other international astronautical organizations, their creation at a time when large numbers of satellites dot the heavens and space vehicles are already making their way to the Moon, Venus and Mars, is no longer difficult. The Annual IAF Congresses have, since the Federation was organized, made a number of important contributions to astronautical progress. More and more care has been taken through the years in the review and selection of technical papers offered for presentation at the Congresses, and the quality of the papers has continually improved. This was particularly evident at the XIIIth IAF Congress, held in Varna, Bulgaria, in September, 1962, where the technical program was organized in its entirety by an International Program Committee, made up of Prof. EDMOND BRUN (France) as Chairman, Prof. NICOLAS BONEFF (Bulgaria), Prof. SAMUEL HERRICK (USA), Dr. AKE HJERTSTRAND (Sweden), Prof. LEONID I. SEDOV (USSR), and Prof. MARTIN SUMMERFIELD (USA). The Committee had been established at the previous IAF Congress in Washington, D. C., for the specific purpose of handling this difficult and responsible task. Its achievements may be measured by the fact that this practice is likely to become the traditional means for organizing the technical programs of future IAF meetings. The conquest of space is today the greatest and most difficult problem facing Man. It is a problem which has been the concern of the IAF for the past 14 years, and it is here that the importance of a collaborative international effort in this area has manifested itself to the greatest degree.
