Founded by two satanists, Hubbard and Jack Parsons, followers of Crowley
Actually, Parsons had nothing to do with the founding of Scientology, unless you count having your money and wife stolen by Hubbard as "founding" it.
Nor were either Satanists. Parsons definitely had a dark streak to him, and was affiliated with Crowley's occult order, but he was never a Satanist.
There are a number of interesting biographies on Parsons, I reccommend "Sex and Rockets".

From the Editorial Review of the book you recommend:
"Scientist, poet, and self-proclaimed Antichrist, Jack Parsons was a bizarre genius whose life reads like an implausible yet irresistible science fiction novel. Sex and Rockets looks at his short life and dual career as cofounder of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and leader of the Agape Lodge of Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO)."
