The British Rocket Group was founded in the early 1950s by a number of scientific pioneers and, over the last fifty years has acted as both an advisory committee to and an active force in the British space program.
During the 1970s it worked closely with the Government's Space Security Department with both sharing offices at London's Space Centre.
In the 1980s and 90s, with the Government's interest in space exploration at a low, the Space Security Department was closed down and the BRG became, once more, a small private venture.

The intrepid scientists retreated to a small country house in Harrogate and concentrated their skills on developing new tools for the analysis of meterorites, as well as setting up a linked chain of orbital satellites for deep space observation.
In 1997, things changed. With a new Government came new priorities. Space travel and exploration being one of them.
The BRG were recalled to London to advise on commissioning a new series of space probes which led, in 2003, to the planning of Guinevere One.
