He was born in Granada, 1879 and became interested in the military from a young age. His father served in the military as well as attended science fairs and conventions, this would lead to his interest in military science. He graduated from the Academy of Military Engineering of Guadalajara in 1902; he subsequently researched aeronautics, including a brief period at the University of Santander. He is best known for his work in cosmology and pioneering studies for high-altitude flight, spaceflight, computing, and for designing the pressurised stratonautical space suit that was to be used in a planned stratospheric balloon flight in 1936 and that is considered one of the antecedents of the space suit.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), he remained loyal to the Second Spanish Republic. In 1937, he was made a general. He was a minister in several Spanish Republican government in exile and Prime Minister of the Republic in exile between 1960 and 1962. He was father of the poet José Herrera Petere.
