The Acta Astronautica journal was first published in 1955 as the official journal of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) with the title Astronautica Acta. It is entering its 60th year in 2014. In 1962, the Astronautica Acta became the official journal of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) established in 1960. A total of 18 volumes had been published from 1955 to 1973 under the leadership of three Editors-in-Chief: F. Hecht, Theodore von Karman, and Martin Summerfield. In 1974, A. K. Oppenheim became the new Editor-in Chief and several evolved changes were performed include change of the title to Acta Astronautica (for grammatical correctness), cover page change, and format change. From 1974 to 2010, another three Editor-in-Chiefs led the journal with 67 volumes published. They are A. K. Oppenheim, Jean-Pierre Marec, and Rupert Gerzer. The current Editor-in-Chief, Jeng-Shing Chern (Rock), took over the job from 2011. Total pages and articles published in 2012 are 3,586 and 356, respectively. Currently, the Acta Astronautica Editorial Board consists of one Editor-in-Chief, 15 Co-Editors, one Managing Editor and one Honorary Editor in -Chief (Jean-Pierre Marec). After 59 years, the Acta Astronautica has become a well-known journal worldwide. Its current rank and impact factor are 7/63 and 0.701, respectively. This chapter presents some of the details as well as new strategies and steps. In particular, support from the IAA academicians are mandatory and most welcome.
