1 NewSpace 2012: New Profits, New Products, NewSpace July 2012, Hyatt Regency, Santa Clara, CA Letter from the Foundation

NewSpace 2012 Attendees,

When we were younger, we wanted to become astronauts and explore space for the sake of exploring, but as we have gotten older, we have realized that this desire is about more than just exploration; this is a necessity to sustain our race. We need to move with a sense of urgency and make space access and exploration a priority among our peers and our nation.

Now is the time to celebrate the achievements of those who have taken this challenge and also encourage others to get in the race. This is also a time to change the old bureaucratic mindset of space exploration and bring the civil and commercial efforts together to further our cause. We are living in an exciting time in the history of space access and exploration. These next few months and years will have a significant impact on our future efforts.

NewSpace 2012 is our opportunity to come together with like minded people, share ideas, and make our dreams a reality. Together students, government employees, NewSpace start-up companies, leaders in the field, and those who have a passion for space can truly make an impact. NewSpace is a time to grow the industry by starting businesses, making deals and creating jobs.

Take advantage of all the resources and opportunities provided at NewS- pace 2012. Rarely do you get to be in a room full of people wanting the same goal, coming from diverse backgrounds with the abilities and assets to make it happen. Immerse yourself in the discussions about our future, such as the STEM education panel, which will give conversations on how to build up our youth to take our place. Don’t miss the opportunity to get a chance to learn the latest in commercial-civil partnerships with the NASA Center Directors panel. Learn how to begin a business with innovative ideas at the Business Plan Competition, which year after year has brought new companies to further our cause. Then celebrate and share with us the recent successes we have had with the NewSpace Gala awards. Brace yourself for the opportunities and challenges ahead and welcome to NewSpace.

To the stars and beyond,

Sara Meschberger NewSpace Conference Assistant Chair

05:15pm – 05:45pm Sex, Drugs, and NewSpace Space is sexy, but our unbridled enthusiasm for space development is like a drug. It has built unrealistic expectations for what can be accomplished in the near term. On the other hand, there are those in the arms control community who hype the idea that some form of arms race in outer space is imminent and are also behaving as if on a drug. Following either community’s claims in their entirety leaves us with nothing, and stands to bring the worst to Space. Join Colonel-Doctor ”Coyote” Smith, PhD, as he discusses his personal views about NewSpace and how the commercial sector and market forces will be the dispassionate arbiters of the debate between those who want to develop space and the international arms control community who want to retard development for the sake of safety or fairness. Coyote Smith (moderator) – Colonel, USAF

06:30pm – 08:00pm Loral Info Session Come meet representatives from Space Systems / Loral!

Saturday, July 28, 2012 08:15am – 09:00am Back to THE Future – Making the Vision a Priority As NewSpace firms begin flying, they must first cross through the airspace of public opinion, where they and their goals are being re-defined in terms of the old paradigm of servicing the government or to provide frivolous entertainment for the 1%. Thus the old school can dismiss the idea of helping create a new industry that will open the frontier in favor of making sure NASA gets a ride to the ISS, and regular people see no connection between what is happening and themselves. We must stop playing around the edges as a movement and get to the heart of the matter. It is time to stop fighting for scraps from someone elses agenda and change the agenda completely. It is time to get back to the Vision of settling space as the central and driving goal of human spaceflight, and to make it official thus creating a new blueprint by which to make decisions in space and a new yardstick by which to measure progress. Mr. Tumlinson will address this concept, and also explain his new EarthLight Institute project. Rick Tumlinson – Co-founder, Space Frontier Foundation, Orbital Outfitters

09:00am – 10:15am The EarthLight Institute Presents: Mars Colony 2030 The ultimate goal of space exploration is space settlement: sending humans to live permanently beyond the cradle of Earth’s atmosphere. People often assume that permanent settlement is many decades in the future. This need not be the case. There are many things we can do right now that would dramatically accelerate the pace of space settlement. With the right policy and technological choices attendees at NewSpace 2012 could well be among the first to live permanently in free space, on the moon and even on Mars. Bob Werb (moderator) – Founder, Space Frontier Foundation Rick Tumlinson – Co-founder, Space Frontier Foundation, Orbital Outfitters

10:15am – 10:45am Networking Break

10:45am – 12:00pm The Endgame of the Google Lunar X-PRIZE Less than a decade after the Ansari X-PRIZE was won, a NewSpace revolution began with several companies on the verge of launching private suborbital flights in the next two years. With so many teams competing for their piece of the $30 million purse in the Google Lunar X-PRIZE, the question must be asked: What will come from all of this? Gregory Schmidt (moderator) – Deputy Director, NASA Lunar Science Institute Jim Crisafulli – Director, Office of Aerospace Development Jonathan Hofeller – Business Development Manager, Middle East & Asia, Space Exploration Technologies Amanda Stiles – Technical Operations Manager, Google Lunar X PRIZE Dennis Wingo – Founder, Skycorp, Inc., CTO, Orbital Recovery Corporation

12:00pm – 01:30pm Lunch: Rock On! History will look back at this decade as the true beginning of private space missions in partnership with scientific institutions, governments and academia. It is up to us to design this legacy exactly as we want to see it written. From private cargo and manned space travel to mapping our universe and protecting Planet Earth...we have the tools, the expertise and the will - so rock on. Ed Lu – Chairman and CEO, B612 Foundation

01:30pm – 02:00pm NASA’s Technology Roadmap NASA’s Office of the Chief Technologist has created a series of Space Technology Roadmaps that chart the way forward for numerous technologies related to spaceflight and NASA’s goals over the next 30 years. NASA worked with the National Research Council and identified fourteen technology areas, then assigned agency specialists to describe each areas top technical challenges, the spaceflight missions they could impact or enable, and as a byproduct the important terrestrial fields they could advance. NASA also has Technology Area Breakdown Structures for all fourteen technology areas. James Reuther – Acting Director, Game Changing Technologies and Crosscutting Capability Demonstrations, NASA Office of the Chief Technologist

02:00pm – 03:15pm Approaching the Tipping Point NASA’s Technology Road Map identifies key technologies that will help NASA achieve its ultimate mid-term goal of landing humans on Mars, but the technological needs of Newspace may not be perfectly aligned with NASA. In this panel, we discuss what technology paths are critical to the success of Newspace, what technologies should be developed faster than NASA’s roadmap plans for to allow a greater impact in the industry, and what technologies NASA forgot about that could help accelerate the progress of both NASA’s goals and NewSpace’s cash flow.

17 NewSpace 2012: New Profits, New Products, NewSpace July 2012, Hyatt Regency, Santa Clara, CA XISP Xtraordinary Innovative Space Partnerships, Inc. (XISP-Inc), has been formed to ac- complish space-scalable technology and product development that leverages commercial applications to fund the maturation of the available technology base for both mission enhancing as well as mission enabling space and terrestrial applications.

XISP-Inc’s goal is achieving a material reduction in the cost, schedule, and technical risk associated with the use of innovative technologies currently stranded at low levels of technological maturity. This is material for both mission enhancing technologies and mission enabling technologies. Mission enhancing technologies are defined as those tech- nologies which if sufficiently mature could enhance the value proposition of a terrestrial and/or space mission. Mission enabling technologies, are defined as those technologies which if sufficiently mature could enable a mission to actually be accomplished that otherwise would not be practical and/or even possible.

This work will be accomplished by crafting partnerships to create actionable pools of otherwise stranded intellectual property developed and/or owned by some combination of the government, commercial, non-governmental, academic, and/or individual con- cerns which when integrated into an evolving technological commons can be defined with sufficient clarity to allow for profitable product development leveraging the same. The premise is that by contributing to a technological commons with clearly defined property boundaries the incumbent product development risk is reduced. The syner- gistic effect of providing a clear articulation of the state-of-the-art, including what is and is not public domain, provides new opportunities for the participants to create real products using their unique insights that have a greater potential for direct and indirect profit. The recursive benefit of each product successfully developed is some reduction in the actual and/or perceived cost, schedule, and/or technical risk associated with the use of the technology in other applications.
