Conrad Haas, a 16th-century Austrian military engineer, advanced the concept of rocket design over 400 years ahead of his time. His extensive treatise 'How You Must Make Quite a Nice Rocket That Can Travel Itself into the Heights’ illustrates a vision for rocketry with multi-stage designs. Born in 1509 and later moving to Transylvania, Haas served as a commander of artillery where he conducted groundbreaking research on propulsion, including the use of cylindrical thrust chambers that foreshadow modern rocket technology.
Haas’s work was documented in his treatise "How You Must Make Quite a Nice Rocket That Can Travel Itself into the Heights." It details multi-stage rocket designs.
Born in 1509, Haas moved to Transylvania and became commander of the artillery barracks, leading him to explore early rocketry concepts.
