Welcome to
The British Interplanetary Society


“From Imagination to Reality”
The British Interplanetary Society serves both space flight professionals and those with a general interest in space flight and astronautics. The Society has a worldwide membership, and is actively devoted to supporting forward looking policies and visionary thinking towards the advancement of space flight through its publications, symposia, meetings and other events. It is the world’s longest established organization devoted to the promotion of astronautics both nationally and internationally.

The Society publishes a monthly, full-colour magazine (Spaceflight) providing news, digests of space flight programmes and other wide-ranging information about astronautics. In addition its technical journal (JBIS) publishes refereed papers in astronautics on a monthly basis, and a twice-yearly Space Chronicle on past space flight programmes.

The Society also holds one and two-day Symposia on specialist space flight topics and has a regular programme of evening lectures on topics in astronautics.

The latest issue of Spaceflight is now on sale. Members of the BIS receive the magazine via mail each month, or it can be ordered direct from your newsagent or bookstall.
