L e t t e r f r o m t h e P r e s i d e n t !

What is so important about ‘settlement’ and why do we love it so much? Why do we push Congress to accept pro-settlement legislation, why do we speak about it every year at our annual conference, and why do we host competitions for companies who are willing to go out an achieve it? The answer is quite simple—on the day that we have achieved sustainable space settlement, we will have created a world that is infinitely better than James Pura the one we live in now. This is what the NewSpace movement is all about. President & Director

Thursday, July 24, 2014 08:15am – 08:30am Remarks from the Chairman of the Board Je↵Feige – Chairman of the Board, Space Frontier Foundation

08:30am – 09:00am Keynote Dr. Simon P. Worden – Director, NASA Ames Research Center

09:00am – 10:15am Integrating the Vision Panel There are three unique markets of the space industry - military space, civil space, and commercial space. These three markets are learning to work and thrive together, now more than ever before. However, the Space Frontier Foundation sees that the sum of these parts is greater than the individual markets themselves and that it leads to one clear goal - space settlement. This panel welcomes representatives from each of these three markets to discuss how to improve the quality of human life through sustainable space development and what role each of these sectors have. Je↵Feige – Chairman of the Board, Space Frontier Foundation Michael Lopez-Alegria – President, Commercial Spaceﬂight Federation Daniel Mosqueda – Director, Air Force Programs, Universities Space Research Association Dr. Simon P. Worden – Director, NASA Ames Research Center

10:15am – 10:40am Networking Break

10:40am – 12:10pm Lightning Pitch Competition The NewSpace Business Plan Competition, in collaboration with it’s sponsors ATK and the Heinlein Prize Trust, will host an innovative “Lightning Pitch Competition”. This novel for- mat is somewhere between an “Elevator Pitch” Competition and a traditional Business Plan Competition. Eight emerging (start-up) companies will deliver a four minute “investor pitch” to a shark-tank of judges as they compete for $30,000 in cash prizes.

2014 Lightning Pitch Competing Teams:

Accion Systems, Boston, MA Cubecab, Mountain View, CA Cuberstation, Palo Alto, CA Elysium Space, San Francisco, CA Hive, Phoenix, AZ RockZip, Michigan City, IN Space Resources Extraction Technology, Huntsville, AB Terran Sciences Group, Orlando, FL

01:40pm – 02:55pm Space Prizes Panel NASA, XPRIZE, and DARPA have all created and launched prize projects within the last few years to accelerate private NewSpace companies and to reward their e↵orts for pushing the industry forward. While the prize itself provides incentives for commercial space entrepreneurship, the impact can be much broader. This raises a series of speciﬁc questions - How can teams beneﬁt from the competition (beyond the actual prize)? From an investor’s perspective, how is investing in a prize competitor or a prize itself a valuable investment? How can organizations that administer the prizes provide support during and after the competition so that the competition’s impacts are felt long term? This panel will evaluate past prize competitions and seek to address how to maximize the impact of current and future prizes on our broader vision of space. Joel Carnes – VP Operations, XPRIZE Jennifer Gustetic – Prizes and Challenges Program Executive, Oce of the Chief Technologist, NASA Headquarters Sean Mahoney – Chief Executive Ocer, Masten Space Systems Bruce Pittman – Flight Projects Director, NASA Ames Space Portal

02:55pm – 03:20pm Networking Break

03:20pm – 03:55pm The Key to the New Space Economy - Space Mineral Resources The Reusable Orbital Science Spacecraft (ROSS) is an academic, industrial, and government partnership e↵ort to explore the use of Space Mineral Resources (SMR) for the beneﬁt of stakeholders all over the world - especially in those regions that are now without signiﬁcant engagement with national space programs. Art Dula – Chairman and Founder, Excalibur Almaz

03:55pm – 05:00pm Space Investors Panel Historically, people invested in space because of a vision, not merely in the hopes of getting rich. However, recent success stories seem to be changing the perception, and investors are beginning to look at placing bets in commercial spaceflight companies. Is this a minor hiccup? Or are investors seeing a fundamental shift in the commercial spaceflight industry? If so, what areas of the industry will be a↵ected soonest? This panel will discuss investing in commercial spaceflight companies and its impact on the broader NewSpace movement. Tim Craine – Head of Space Commerce Development, Cavendish Trust Esther Dyson – Chairman, EDventure Holdings Robert Jacobson – Principal, Space Angels Network Tom Olson – Exodus Consulting Group

05:00pm – 06:00pm Lightning Pitch Reception This is an invite-only, networking reception for competitors, judges, sponsors, press, and investors. Invitations have been sent out several weeks prior to the event. James Armor – Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, ATK Buckner Hightower – Trustee, Robert A.

09:00am – 09:15am Media Announcement by Infinity Aerospace Brian Rieger – Co-Founder, Infinity Aerospace Manu Sharma – Co-Founder, Designer, Engineer, Infinity Aerospace

09:15am – 10:15am DIY Space Movement Panel Silicon Valley loves companies that start in garages, and space companies can be created in the same way. The “smallsat” class of satellites has provided a cost-e↵ective, accessible, and fruitful platform for anyone who is interested in building and launching a satellite. 3D printers are being used on Earth and on the International Space Station to produce tools, prototypes, and even food. Open source platforms like Arduino have made it possible for individuals to design their own payloads at low cost. In this panel, we will hear from four examples of just this–starting with a hobby, you can find something unique, and may end up with the next Apple Computers that democratizes space for everyone. Sean Casey (moderator) – Co-Founder, Silicon Valley Space Center’s Mo↵ett Federal Airfield Alliance Deepak Atyam – President, SEDS at University of California, San Diego Jason Dunn –Co-FounderandCTO,MadeinSpace Manu Sharma – Co-Founder, Designer, Engineer, Infinity Aerospace Ariel Waldman – Founder, Spacehack.org

10:15am – 10:45am Networking Break

10:45am – 12:00pm Property Rights Panel The issues of property rights, development rights, and utilization rights on celestial bodies need to be addressed before stockholders can see space deliver its maximum value to investors. Once merely an academic exercise, addressing property rights in space is now becoming an active issue. Companies are now actively planning on mining asteroids, building on the Moon, and selling space resources. This is forcing governments to ensure legal protection to companies that utilize space resources. What are the steps companies can take to advance this legal landscape, and what is the value that can be derived from actually addressing the property rights issue? This panel will seek to address these questions, the current actions being taken, and how to face similar issues as they arise. Matthew Schaefer (moderator) – Professor of Law and Director of Space & Telecom Law Program, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Sagi Kﬁr – Corporate Counsel, Deep Space Industries James Muncy – Co-Founder, Space Frontier Foundation Berin Szoka – President, TechFreedom

02:00pm – 03:15pm Commercial Development: the Catalyst of our Lunar Exploration Panel Sponsored by: Moon Express

NASA recently announced the winners of the Lunar CATALYST program, which is an innovative partnership with the NewSpace industry focused on building the lunar lander industrial base. This program was built on the success of the COTS model - a public-private partnership that enabled companies to develop capabilities to service the LEO market, including but not limited to NASA cargo and crew. But Lunar CATALYST is only a ﬁrst step in this process, that leads to humans developing and industrializing the Moon. What steps are next? How do we take advantage of non-government contributors like the Google Lunar XPrize? And how do we incorporate international interest in Lunar development? Jason Crusan (moderator) – Director, Advanced Exploration Systems Division, NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate Andrew Barton – Technical Director GLXP, XPRIZE Foundation Ofer Lapid – Program Manager, Weizmann Institute of Science David Masten – Chief Technology Ocer and Chairman, Masten Space Systems Bob Richards – Co-Founder & CEO, Moon Express, Inc.

03:15pm – 03:45pm Networking Break

03:45pm – 05:00pm Paradigm Shift Panel The Space Frontier Foundation has pursued the vision of space settlement since its inception and is anticipating the day when space access and development will shift from becoming a rarity to a commodity in the near future. But for this paradigm shift to be realized, the public perception also needs to evolve from one that is agnostic or skeptical, to one that expects this future. Can this paradigm be shifted consciously? The panelists will discuss some of the historical analogs such as from the IT and PC industries, identify the current obstacles in the space industry, and develop strategies to overcome them. Ivan Rosenberg (moderator) – President & CEO, Frontier Associates, Inc. Dave Blakely – Senior Director, IDEO Je↵Garzik – CEO, Dunvegan Space Systems John Hollar – President and CEO, Computer Science Museum Larry Osborn – EVP & Chief Strategy Ocer, DreamHammer, Inc.

Alan Stern – Chief Scientist, World View

09:30am – 11:00am Orbital Debris Panel The orbital debris problem is a ticking time-bomb, and everyone knows it. Mitigating orbital space debris requires technical, legal, and regulatory talent. In order to take progressive steps to solve this issue the following questions need to be addressed: What technologies must be developed to interact with uncooperative space objects? Who is responsible for ensuring its clearance and how will they be accountable? What is the insurance industry’s current stance on orbital debris and how will it change as the problem intensiﬁes? This panel will seek to suggest a way to permanently mitigate orbital debris. Doug Beason (moderator) – Senior VP for Special Programs, Universities Space Research Association Kirsten Armstrong – Program Manager, The Tauri Group David Barnhart – Program Manager, DARPA Phoenix Joe Carroll – President, Tether Applications, Inc. Robert Hoyt – CEO and Chief Scientist, Tethers Unlimited Jer-Chyi Liou – Chief Scientist for Orbital Debris, NASA Orbital Debris Program Oce

12:00pm – 01:30pm Lunch Donna Edwards – Congresswoman, United States Congress - Maryland 4th

01:30pm – 02:30pm Should Cheap Access to Space be an American Priority, Again? Cheap Access To Space (CATS) has been a strategic national priority, on and o↵, for the last 40 years. America has made it a strategic objective for the Shuttle, NASP, and X-33 programs, but failed to achieve the goal in each of these three attempts with a government-led programmatic approach. The Space Frontier Foundation and our allies believe that that it is time to try again, using today’s more advanced technology, and leveraging recent lesson’s learned that public-private-partnerships can work much better than traditional government acquisition strategies. Charles Miller (moderator) – President & Owner, NexGen Space LLC Je↵Lane – Northrup Grumman Sean Mahoney – Chief Executive Ocer, Masten Space Systems Gabriel Rothblatt – Democratic Nominee, U.S. Congress for the 8th District of Florida

But how do we, as a country, integrate this into a broader vision that serves all interests? How do we ensure that we have the needed capabilities to travel to any destination? How do we make sure U.S. Space Enterprise fosters a successful market and continues to create partnerships? The Space Frontier Foundation will bring together representatives from these entities to discuss how to ensure that we all beneﬁt from our space enterprise.

Xtraordinary Innovative Space Partnerships, Inc. The focus of Xtraordinary Innovative Space Partnerships, Inc. (XISP-Inc) is technology development missions conducted on and/or leveraging the resources of the Interna- tional Space Station (ISS). One of the interesting challenges with respect to technology development missions for the ISS is the necessity, driven by the prevailing resource con- straints, of fostering communities of interest that cross traditional discipline boundaries from the inception of the work. It is through turning this competition for resources into an impetus for cooperation that one can best draw out the potential value the work and thus avoid the characterization of such e↵orts as “self-licking ice cream cones” or “discipline sand boxes” divorced from any applicability to real missions.
