<P> The first rockets may have appeared as early as the 10th century Song dynasty China , however more solid documentary evidence does not appear until the 13th century . The technology probably spread across Eurasia in the wake of the Mongol invasions of the mid-13th century . Usage of rockets as weapons prior to modern rocketry is attested in China , Korea , India , and Europe . One of the first recorded rocket launchers is the `` wasp nest '' fire arrow launcher produced by the Ming dynasty in 1380 . In Europe rockets were also used in the same year at the Battle of Chioggia . The Joseon kingdom of Korea made use of a type of mobile multiple rocket launcher known as the `` Munjong Hwacha '' by 1451 . Iron cased rockets , known as Mysorean rockets , were developed in Kingdom of Mysore by the late 15th century and were later copied by the British . The later models and improvements were known as the Congreve rocket and used in the Napoleonic Wars . </P>
