Conrad Haas Conrad Haas ( 1509 – 1576 ) was a military engineer of the Holy Roman Empire , who is often cited as the first person to describe a multistage rocket in writing , although some historians attribute that distinction to Jiao Yu in 14th Century China . Haas was perhaps born in Dornbach ( now part of Vienna ) . As the " Zeugwart " ( equipment manager ) and arsenal master of the Imperial Austrian army under Ferdinand I . Stephen Báthory , the grand prince of Transylvania invited Haas to Hermannstadt , Siebenbürgen ( now Sibiu , Transylvania , Romania ) in 1551 , where he was the engineer of the weaponry and also he started to teach at Klausenburg ( now Cluj - Napoca ) . Between 1529 and 1556 , he wrote a book in German language in which he described rocket technology , involving the combination of fireworks and weapons technologies . This manuscript was discovered in 1961 , in the Sibiu public records ( Sibiu public records " Varia II 374 " ) . In this work Haas dealt with the technical details of rocket construction , explaining the working principles of a rocket . He described many rocket types , including the multi - stage rocket , bundled rockets , and the idea of modern spacecraft . His work also dealt with the theory of motion of multi - stage rockets , different fuel mixtures using liquid fuel , and introduced delta - shape fins and bell - shaped nozzle s . In the last paragraph of his chapter on the military use of rockets , he wrote ( translated ) : " But my advice is for more peace and no war , leaving the rifles calmly in storage , so the bullet is not fired , the gunpowder is not burned or wet , so the prince keeps his money , the arsenal master his life ; that is the advice Conrad Haas gives . " Before discovery of Haas ' manuscript , the first description of the three - stage rocket was in Poland credited to the Polish artillery specialist Kazimierz Siemienowicz in his 1650 work , " Artis Magnae Artilleriae Pars Prima " ( " Great Art of Artillery , Part One " ) . Haas , who remained and died in Hermannstadt , present day Sibiu , Romania , was considered a Siebenbürger Sachse .
