Dans les années 60, le Liban fut le premier pays arabe à commencer à envoyer des fusées dans le ciel. Emmené par Manoug Manougian, leur professeur de physique, un petit groupe d’étudiants de l’Université Haigazian commence des tests et les premiers lancements en vue de conquérir l’espace. Leurs travaux prendront de plus en plus d’ampleur au point de faire la une des journaux et de devenir une fierté nationale. Qui étaient ces jeunes gens ? Pourquoi se sont-ils arrêtés ? Et surtout, pourquoi tout cela a-t-il été totalement oublié ?

In the early 60′s, during the cold war and the apex of Pan Arabism, a group of students and researchers (at Haigazian University) enters the race to space and create the Lebanese Rocket Society. Sometimes, and specially nowadays, dreams can overtake a tormented history…
From 1960 to 1966, a space project was undertaken in Lebanon. Several rockets, which became larger and more powerful with time, were launched from the hills surrounding Beirut by a group of scientists, university students and army experts. This group, led by Manoug Manougian, was called: The Lebanese Rocket Society.
