  • 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.

    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.

By Nicholas Schmidle Mark Stucky, the lead test pilot for SpaceShipTwo. “As a Marine Corps colonel once told me,” Stucky said, “ ‘If you want to be safe, go be a shoe salesman at Sears.’ ” Photograph by Dan Winters for The New Yorker t 5 .. on April 5th, Mark Stucky drove to an airstrip in Mojave, California, and gazed at A SpaceShipTwo, a sixty-foot-long craft that is owned by Virgin Galactic, a part of the Virgin Group. Painted white and bathed in oodlight, it resembled a sleek ghter plane, but its mission was to ferry thousands of tourists to and from space. Stucky had piloted SpaceShipTwo on two dozen previous test ights, including three of the four times that it had red its rocket booster, which was necessary to propel it into space. On October 31, 2014, he watched the fourth such ight from mission control; it crashed in the desert, killing his best friend. On this morning, Stucky would be piloting the fth rocket-powered ight, on a new iteration of the spaceship. A successful test would restore the program’s lustre. Stucky walked into Virgin Galactic’s large beige hangar. He is fty-nine and has a loose-legged stroll, tousled salt-and-pepper hair, and sunken, suntanned cheeks. In other settings, he could pass for a retired beachcomber. He wears the smirk of someone who feels certain that he’s having more fun than you are.

    Probe of US spaceship crash may take a 'year' (Update) 2 November 2014, by Josh Edelson short but expensive trips to space—marked the first time the spaceship had flown on a new kind of plastic-based rocket fuel mixture. Hart earlier told reporters that investigators were entering unknown territory since it was "the first time we have been in the lead of a space launch that involved persons on board." However, he noted that the test flight "was heavily documented in ways we don't usually see with normal accidents." That included six cameras on the vehicle and three on WhiteKnightTwo—the bigger aircraft that had carried the spaceship. A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) team surveys a tail section from the crashed Virgin Galactic There was also extensive telemetry data and a long- SpaceShipTwo near Cantil, California, on November 1, range camera at nearby Edwards Air Force Base, 2014 among other sources of input, he said.

  • 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.

  • Virgin Galactic Scaled Permit Press Release
    For Immediate Release FAA Launch Permit Gives Virgin Galactic’s Space Vehicles the Green Light for Powered Flight SpaceShipTwo Set to Go for Heavy-Weight Glide Tests with Supersonic Flight Targeted for Year End MOJAVE, Calif. – (May 29, 2012) Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceline, announced today that its vehicle developer, Scaled Composites (Scaled), has been granted an experimental launch permit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its suborbital spacecraft, SpaceshipTwo, and the carrier aircraft, WhiteKnightTwo. “This important milestone enables our team to progress to the rocket-powered phase of test flight, bringing us a major step closer to bringing our customers to space,” said George Whitesides, president and CEO of Virgin Galactic. “We thank the FAA for their timely issuance of this permit, and for their responsible oversight of the test program.” Already, SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo have made significant progress in their flight test program. With 80 test flights completed, WhiteKnightTwo is substantially through its test plan, while the more recently constructed SpaceShipTwo has safely completed sixteen free flights, including three that tested the vehicle’s unique “feathering” re-entry system. Additionally, ten test firings of the full scale SpaceShipTwo rocket motor, including full duration burns, have been safely and successfully completed. With this permit now in hand, Scaled is now authorized to press onward towards rocket- powered test flights. In preparation for those powered flights, SpaceShipTwo will soon return to flight, testing the aerodynamic performance of the spacecraft with the full weight of the rocket motor system on board. Integration of key rocket motor components, already begun during a now-concluding period of downtime for routine maintenance, will continue into the autumn.
