Huntsville Rocket Society

The Huntsville Rocket Company is a research and development group headquartered in Huntsville, Tennesse. In 1942, it was contracted by the Confederate government to develop weapons for use in the Second Great War. In 1943, it produced several effective weapons including anti-barrel rocketanti-personnel rockets to supplement battlefield artillery, and massive weapons which could deliver one ton bombs several hundred miles. Jake Featherston next wanted the company to develop rockets which could deliver a ten-ton payload--the estimated weight of a uranium bomb.
