We just learned about the Mysorean Rockets.
Another rocket from history was the Congreve Rockets.
During a war between India and Great Britain, the British studied the rockets being used by the Indian military, and worked to make their own rockets to use for battle.
William Congreve came up with a rocket that was used for a long time for battles that used gunpowder to launch and explode when they landed.
