Founded in 1933, the British Interplanetary Society (or 'BIS') is the world's oldest society dedicated to spaceflight. Despite the name, the BIS is international in membership. It publishes a technical journal, Journal of British Interplanetary Society, a monthly general interest magazine, Spaceflight, a twice-yearly magazine on the history of spaceflight, Space Chronicle, and a magazine for children, Voyage. Their motto is "From imagination to reality."
The sister society to the BIS, the American Interplanetary Society, was founded in 1930. It still exists in the form of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, following its merger with the American Institute of Aerospace Sciences.
