British Interplanetary Society "member Ralph A. Smith, who helped re-establish the society post-WW2, invented the first instrument for space travel: the Coelostat, a navigation mechanism that would ingeniously cancel out the rotating view." (That is, from a spinning astronautical vehicle.) --Wikipedia
