  • Press Release
    National Aeronautic Association FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Ivey, 703-527-0226 E-Mail: [email protected] SpaceShipOne Team Named 2004 Collier Trophy Winner Arlington, VA – SpaceShipOne, the first-ever privately financed, manned spacecraft has won the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy Monday, taking its place alongside the greatest advances in aviation history. The Collier Trophy has been awarded each year since 1911 by the National Aeronautic Association “for the greatest achievement in aviation in America…” SpaceshipOne went into space for the first time on June 21, 2004, when Mike Melvill piloted the craft 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, an altitude considered to be the beginning of space. In the fall of last year, SS1 made a pair of return trips to space within a week of each other to earn the $10 million Ansari X-Prize, given to the first team to prove that civilian manned spaceflight is feasible. The amazing vehicle was designed and built by a small firm in Mojave, California, Scaled Composites, LLC, which was founded in 1982 by aircraft designer Burt Rutan. The cost of the project, about $26 million, was covered by investor Paul G. Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft. Capable of carrying a pilot and two passengers to space, SS1 is made primarily of graphite and epoxy. It reaches space much like a rocket would, traveling straight up at many times the speed of sound after being released from its carrier ship, White Knight. It featured the revolutionary idea of a “carefree” re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, by reconfiguring its wings, which are then moved back into position to allow the pilot to glide the craft back to Earth.

  • Burt Rutan Got His Educational Start at Cal Poly
    California Polytechnic State University Sept. 29, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Teresa Hendrix Public Affairs (805) 756-7266 Media Advisory: Burt Rutan Got His Educational Start at Cal Poly To: News, science, higher education, engineering and feature writers and editors From: Cal Poly -- California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California Re: SpaceShipOne designer, Voyager designer Burt Rutan If you are working on biography stories or feature stories about aeronautical design pioneer Burt Rutan, you may want to mention Rutan is a graduate of Cal Poly’s nationally-recognized College of Engineering. Burt Rutan graduated from Cal Poly in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering. His Senior Project won the national student paper competition of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics that year. Rutan was awarded Cal Poly's first honorary doctorate in 1987. Rutan's SpaceShipOne made history again this morning (Sept. 29) attaining a height of 67 miles during a flight over the Mojave Desert. Piloted by Mike Melvill, SpaceShipOne again landed safely. Watch the launch on the Ansari X-Prize Web site:http://web1-xprize.primary.net/launch.php Read about it in the Los Angeles Times. In its maiden spaceflight n June 2004, the craft landed safely in the Mojave Desert after flying into space, reaching an altitude of 62.5 miles. Rutan has partnered with Microsoft's Paul Allen to create the first private aircraft to travel into space in a quest to claim the $10 million prize in the Ansari X-Flight competition. This week, British billionaire Richard Branson announced plans to buy a fleet of Rutan's aircraft to begin offering commercial flights to the edge of space.

  • Richard Branson's Space Line Is Flight-Testing for a 2014 Virgin Galactic Launch. After That: Mars by Adam Higginbotham
    RICHA R D BR A NSON ’s SPACE LINE IS FLIGHT-TESTING FOR A 2014 VIRGIN U P GALACTIC LAUNCH. AFTER THAT: MARS by ADAM HIGGINBOTHAM photography: CHRIS CRISMAN OMETIMES it almost seems to disappear into the desert. Conceived as a conjuring trick of architecture and topography, the Virgin Galactic Gateway to Space rises in a sinuous curve from the harsh New Mexico dust, its steel surfaces weathered into a red- brown mirage on the horizon; at twilight, the silhouette of the world’s first purpose- built commercial spaceport melts slowly into the ridgeline of the San Andres moun- tains, 30 kilometres away. The route that the package-tour astro- nauts of tomorrow will take through the building has been meticulously devised by the architects of Foster + Partners to fore- shadow the journey they will make into space: a concrete ramp ascends gently towards the centre of the building – a nar- row, hooded cleft that even in the blind- ing southwestern sunshine forms a small rectangle of perfect darkness. A mag- netic tag worn by each passenger triggers heavy steel doors that will open into a nar- row and dimly lit passageway, the walls curving out towards another blackened doorway, and a catwalk with views of the 4,300-square-metre hangar four storeys below, housing the fleet of spacecraft in which they will travel. And then, the finale: the last set of doors swings open into the astronaut lounge, a vast, open space filled with natural light from an elliptical wall of windows, offer- ing a panorama of the three-kilometre- long spaceport runway, and the sky beyond.

  • July 23, 2012 11:04 AM Subject: SEEING the Arrival of Private Human Space Access
    Sent: Monday, July 23, 2012 11:04 AM Subject: SEEING the arrival of private human space access 1. As we enter the second half of 2012, the imminence of commercial human space access is looming larger. Here's a survey article I wrote for an engineering magazine in January: http://www.jamesoberg.com/image/les_valentine_xcor_lynx_pm.jpg 2. The special pre-flight orientation and training needed to allow a brief space traveler to really 'see' what their eyes are being overwhelmed with was discussed in my article here http://www.txchnologist.com/2012/space-sight-how-can-you- prepare-to-see-earth-from-space with an excellent reader's comment link to another [purchase required] article here: http://www.aperture.org/exposures/?p=10220 3. SEEING from space is so visually striking that it cries out for more advance attention from a visual medium such as ours. It's beyond just crying out, "What a Beautiful View" -- it's being astonished anew: http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/downtime_on_the_high_frontier/ 4. To SEE for myself, I recently went walkabout at the Mojave, California, airport flight line to see the row of 'new space' companies preparing for private human access to sub-orbital space, and other destinations. http://www.jamesoberg.com/image/gateway_to_space.jpg 5. The 'star tenant' there is 'Scaled Composites', which under Burt Rutan [now retired] built SpaceShipOne to win the Ansari X-Prize. I was able to get a one-on-one off-the-record interview with Doug Shane, Rutan's successor http://www.jamesoberg.com/image/scaled_composites_director.jpg and he discussed their plans for a flying launch pad to deploy an upper stage to take medium-sized payloads [including manned spacecraft] into orbit in five years.

  • Scaled Composites Celebrates Historic New Horizons Mission with Spaceshipone Memento
    Scaled Composites Celebrates Historic New Horizons Mission with SpaceShipOne Memento July 17, 2015 MOJAVE, Calif., July 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The first privately-funded vehicle to reach space and one of the most innovative crafts ever flown is part of space history again. A three-inch piece of SpaceShipOne was selected by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) to accompany eight other mementos on the New Horizons spacecraft's extraordinary journey to Pluto. "SpaceShipOne is part of a historic moment in spaceflight, as more private companies work to bring space access to everyone," said Kevin Mickey, president of Scaled Composites, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman. "We are honored to have been recognized for this by having this piece of SpaceShipOne's pilot seat on New Horizons, which has the potential to change the way we think about our solar system." In keeping with the tradition of space mementos, the SpaceShipOne piece bears a message about its significance. Side one reads, "To commemorate its historic role in the advancement of spaceflight, this piece of SpaceShipOne is being flown on another historic spacecraft: New Horizons. New Horizons is Earth's first mission to Pluto, the farthest known planet in our solar system." Side two reads, "SpaceShipOne was Earth's first privately funded manned spacecraft. SpaceShipOne flew from the United States of America in 2004." "Congratulations to APL and the incredible team, and thank you for recognizing SpaceShipOne in this historic voyage," Mickey said. On October 4, 2004, SpaceShipOne rocketed into history, becoming the first private manned spacecraft to exceed an altitude of 328,000 feet twice in a 14-day period, winning the $10 million Ansari X-Prize.

  • The Space Review: the Future Starts Here
    SpaceShipOne pilot Mike Melvill stands atop the vehicle after the flight, holding a sign that reads “SpaceShipOne, Government Zero”. (credit: Derek Webber) The future starts here by Derek Webber Monday, June 28, 2004 The boundary between the old and the new is usually a little blurred; there is often a period of overlap coloring the transition. The start of the jet age would be such an example in the aerospace business, with both Spitfires and Meteors flying in the same skies. Nevertheless, there are sometimes identifiable events in history when even an observer at the time can see that a massive change has taken place, and that one era is closing and a new one has begun. Monday June 21st, in Mojave, California was one such turning point. We have entered a new phase of the space flight business, and a new future beckons, due to the efforts of a few inspired entrepreneurs and their small dedicated teams. Before moving on, we should pause to record and celebrate just how major a change has been achieved, courtesy of Messrs Rutan, Allen, Benson and Diamandis. First of all, we should note that the SpaceShipOne flight rekindled the interest of ordinary folks in space flight. Around 20,000 people turned up before sunrise in a hick town in the middle of nowhere, bringing their children and animals, to see the spectacle. Guys were selling binoculars and tee shirts. And it was a spectacle, superbly orchestrated to showcase space flight as entertainment. One cannot help making comparisons with the May 5, 1961 suborbital flight of Alan Shepard, even though we must acknowledge that his historic flight took place during the Cold War era.
