This is a re-print of a paper from the 1920s. After an introduction dealing with rocket characteristics and general notations, it presents a working load formula. It discusses exhaust speed and the chemical agent; the design of combustion and exhaust chambers; the proportional passive; trajectories and required rocket velocities; maximum acceleration; the impact of the atmosphere at take-off; atmospheric braking and reduction of reentry speed; the possibility of interplanetary bases and rocket-artillery supply; rocket control, and related measurement and orientation equipment; general prospects for the future; and experiments and investigations.
