American Rocket Society
The American Rocket Society( ARS) began its existence on April 4, 1930, under the name of the American Interplanetary Society.
It was founded by science fiction writers G. Edward Pendray, David Lasser, Laurence Manning, and others.
The members originally conducted their own rocket experiments in New York and New Jersey.
The society printed its own journal.
The AIS did pioneering work in testing the design requirements of liquid- fuelled rockets, with a number of successful test launches of ARS rockets occurring in this period and pointing the way to the United States space program.
Its name was changed to American Rocket Society on April 6, 1934.
In 1936, the American Rocket Society and its member Alfred Africano were awarded the Prix d'Astronautique by the Société astronomique de France( French Astronomical Society) in recognition of their pioneering tests with liquid fueled rockets.
The" Journal of the American Rocket Society" was published from 1945 – 53.
Membership increased rapidly in the 1950s as the government funded" upper air research", and by the end of the decade it had reached 21,000.
In early 1963, the ARS merged with the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences to become the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics( AIAA).

Lebanese space program
The Lebanese space program was not initially an official government- sponsored effort.
Rather, it revolved around the Lebanese Rocket Society which emerged from the Haigazian College Rocket Society, and was founded by Manoug Manougian in 1960.
The original society gained fame in Lebanon after a series of successful launches of Cedar rockets and in 1962 President Fouad Chehab announced limited governmental funding for the renamed Lebanese Rocket Society which was also contacted by the Lebanese military to develop weapons.
Lebanese Forces
The Lebanese Forces" is a Lebanese Christian based political party and former militia during the Lebanese Civil War.
It currently holds fifteen of the 64 Christian seats in Lebanon's parliament and is therefore the second largest Christian party in parliament
The Lebanese Forces were originally created in 1976 as an umbrella organization co-ordinating all the right- wing party militias of the Lebanese Front, mainly composed of the Kataeb Party.
After the assassination of Bachir Gemayel, a few uprisings led to Geagea taking over and dissolving the Lebanese Front.
Later developing into a separate organization from those parties in the early 1990s.
The party was led by Samir Geagea, former commander- in- chief of the armed organization.
The organization was created by the Gemayels, Camille Chamoun, and other party leaders during the Lebanese Civil War.
It was initially a conglomerate of the various right- wing party militias, placed under the control of a council composed of various party representatives.
The Kataeb Regulatory Forces provided the largest share of fighters and the Kataeb had the largest share on the council.
Despite its original creation from party militias, the Lebanese Forces accepted new recruits without any specific party allegiance.
The movement fought as the main Lebanese resistance within the Christian- dominated Lebanese Front.
During the civil war, the Lebanese Forces fought different opponents at different times: the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the LNM, the LNRF, the Syrian Army, the Druze- dominated PSP in the Chouf, and the Lebanese Army loyal to General Aoun.
In the mid-1980s, political friction within the Lebanese Front resulted in growing distance between the Kataeb militants and the rest of the Lebanese Forces.
In the end the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb became two separate forces within the Lebanese Front.
After the civil war ended, Samir Geagea created the Lebanese Forces Party.
In 1994, while Lebanon was under Syrian occupation the party was banned, Geagea imprisoned, and the activities of its militants repressed by the Lebanese services in Lebanon.
The Lebanese Forces returned as a political force after the Cedar Revolution in early 2005, which resulted in a withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon.
Soon after, Geagea was subsequently released from prison and continues to lead the party today.
