Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets is one of the premier journals in the field of Space technology. It is published by American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. This paper presents bibliometric analysis of the journal during 2006-2010 which includes 780 papers and 15648 references. The analysis covers various parameters like growth pattern, authorship patterns, and distributions with regard to subject, year, institution and geographical area. The citing pattern of authors is also analysed from the reference provided for each article. It is also analysed to know the most productive year. Length-wise analysis of articles is also carried out. The study also reveals the degree of collaboration among the authors and Lotka‟s law is also applied to find the author productivity. The major finding of the study is that universities are the most productive sector and that the most productive country is USA.Keywords

At present spacecraft propulsion is a dynamic area of research in which majority of research work is being done. Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge is a premier research platform, helping to find, analyze, and share information in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. The data for the present analysis has been retrieved for a period of 14 years during 1999 to 2012 from this database. This study aims to analyse the Indian contribution in the subject area. The study also analyses year-wise, language-wise, document type-wise distribution and also the country-wise analysis which provides the percentage of Indian share to this subject. The analysis also includes institution-wise categorization; Degree of Collaboration and also verifies the fitness of Bradford's Law of Scattering.Keywords
