evolved to cover approaches to space development that
differ significantly from that taken by NASA and the
mainstream aerospace industry.
 Development of launch systems principally with
private funding.
 Low cost approaches or budgeting plans.
 Primary drive towards innovation.
 Aim to increase human presence in outer space.

 The Mission of Orbital Outfitters is to provide
affordable, industrial quality space suits and related
services to commercial and government space travelers
and explorers.

9.  The goal of SpaceDiver is to create the systems and
infrastructure necessary to allow a human being to
accomplish an emergency (or other) egress from one
of the NewSpace sub-orbital spacecraft and return to
Earth safely - to bail out and skydive from the edge of
space - or as it will be branded, “SpaceDive.”

11.  The Rocket Racing League is a racing league that
would use rocket powered aircraft. The formation of
the league was announced by Granger Whitelaw, and
Peter Diamandis, founder of the Ansari X-Prize, on
October 3, 2005, in partnership with the Reno Air
Races.
 According to Diamandis, the purpose of the league is
to "inspire people of all ages to once again look up into
the sky and find inspiration and excitement."

12. RocketRacing
League

13.  To be held at venues across the country, the Rocket
Racing League will feature multiple races pitting up to
10 Rocket Racers going head to head in a 4-lap,
multiple elimination heat format on a 5-mile "Formula
One"-like closed circuit raceway in the sky. The
Rocket Racer pilots see the "raceway in the sky" via in-
panel and 3D helmet displays.
 Six teams are currently registered to compete in the
Rocket Racing League’s Inaugural Season.

22.  SpaceDev California is focused on developing
responsive and low-cost small spacecraft - microsats,
nanosats and maneuvering and orbital transfer
vehicles (MoTV) - and safe, sub-orbital and orbital
hybrid propulsion systems.

23. Hybrid rocket propulsion
 This unique technology is based on a combination of
two, very safe materials: nitrous oxide (N2O) as the
oxidizer, and hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB),
or synthetic rubber as the fuel. The result is a propulsion
technology that blends the simplicity of solid rockets with
the restart and throttle ability of liquid-fueled propulsion.
 The most significant aspect is that hybrid rockets are much
safer than other rocket technologies

PayPal and the Zip2 Corporation, SpaceX has already
developed two brand new launch vehicles, established
an impressive launch manifest, and been awarded
COTS funding by NASA to demonstrate delivery and
return of cargo to the International Space Station.

27. Falcon 1
Falcon 1 is a two stage,
liquid oxygen and rocket
grade kerosene (RP-1)
powered launch vehicle. It is
designed in-house from the
ground up by SpaceX for
cost efficient and reliable
transport of satellites to low
Earth orbit.
On September 28, 2008,
SpaceX made history when
its Falcon 1, designed and
manufactured from the
ground up by SpaceX,
became the first privately-
developed liquid fuel rocket
to orbit the Earth.

28. Falcon 9
Like Falcon 1, Falcon 9
is a two stage, liquid
oxygen and rocket
grade kerosene (RP-1)
powered launch
vehicle. It uses the
same engines,
structural architecture
(with a wider
diameter), avionics and
launch system.

The N-Prize (the "N" stands for
"Nanosatellite" or "Negligible
Resources“) is a competition to stimulate
innovation directed towards obtaining
cheap access to space. The competition
was launched in 2008 and is intended
specifically to spur amateur involvement
in spaceflight.

68. Rules in brief
 TThe N-Prize offers two cash Prizes, each of £9,999.99 (nine thousand, nine hundred
and ninety-nine pounds and ninety-nine pence, sterling).
The prizes will be awarded to the first persons or groups to put into orbit around the
Earth a satellite with a mass of between 9.99 and 19.99 grams, and to prove that it has
completed at least 9 orbits.
One prize (the "single-spend-to-orbit", or "SSO" Prize) will be awarded to the first
entrant to complete the challenge using a non-reusable launch system. The other prize
(the "reusable vehicle" or "RV" Prize) will be awarded to the first entrant to complete the
challenge using a partially or wholly reusable launch system. Both prizes carry equal
status.
The cost of the launch, but not ground facilities, must fall within a budget of £999.99.
Entrants for the RV Prize may exceed this budget, but must demonstrate recovery of
hardware such that the per-launch cost remains within £999.99.
Imaginative use of string and chewing gum is encouraged. Entrants are responsible for
everything, organisers are responsible for nothing.

69.  The challenge posed by the N-Prize is to launch a
satellite weighing between 9.99 and 19.99 grams into
Earth orbit, and to track it for a minimum of nine
orbits. Most importantly, though, the launch budget
must be within £999.99 (about $1500) - and must
include the launch vehicle, all of the required non-
reusable launch equipment hardware, and propellant.

70. As of April 2007, seven Challenges have been
announced. The six space related ones are:
 Tether Challenge
 Beam Power Challenge
 Moon Regolith Oxygen Challenge
 Regolith Excavation Challenge
 Lunar Lander Challenge
 Astronaut Glove Challenge

71.  This is a competition to build a wirelessly-powered ribbon-
climbing robot. The contest involves having the robot lift a
large payload within a limited timeframe. The first
competition in 2005 would have awarded $50,000, $20,000,
and $10,000 to the three best-performing teams, meeting
the minimum benchmark of 1 m/s. However, no team met
this standard, with only two teams climbing under beam
power. This prize also increased to $200,000 in 2006, but
no team was able to accomplish the full set of
requirements.
 In 2007 the prize money was raised to $500,000 for this
competition.

73.  The Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge is a
competition funded by NASA's Centennial Challenges
program. The competition offers a series of prizes for
teams that launch a vertical takeoff/vertical landing
(VTVL) rocket that achieves the total delta-v needed
for a vehicle to move between the surface of the Moon
and its orbit. The multi-level competition is conducted
by the X PRIZE Foundation, with sponsorship from the
Northrop Grumman Corporation who run the on-
going competition.

78. 10 Space Tourism
Facts You Need to
Know

79. Sputnik - Russia’s most advanced
Satellite.
1. As of 2008, only Russia
is offering civilian tickets
into space. Consider
remortgaging your house
before you leave; tickets
are currently on the
market for a sweet $20
million, and they’re full
until 2009. There is a
rumor that EasyJet are
going to be offering free
flights to the Sea of
Tranquility, with the
booking fee estimated
around the $10 million
mark, or $80 one way.
Plus taxes.

first private
vehicle to fly

Tickets $200,000 per seat
First test flights: summer 2008
First commercial flight: 2010?
3. Virgin Galactic aims to be
the first commercial venture
to fly civilians into space,
allowing them to experience
weightlessness for up to six
minutes at a time.

4. There are a
variety of Space

on the internet,
all with
horrendous colour
schemes. If the
spacecraft
engineering is as
bad as the
website design,
there will be
many, many
fatalities. A quick

83. 
6. Getting there is indeed
half the fun, but what about
accomodation? If you’re
planning to stay in space for a
long weekend there is,
literally, only one place to go:
the International Space
Station. Still under
construction, this high-rise
hotel offers the latest in
amenities, including the
thrilling Multipurpose
Laboratory Module, the
heart-pounding excitement
of Node 3, and the small, yet
comfortable Mini-Research
Module 1.
The International Space Station, still
more spacious than a Travel Inn.

84. 7. Apart from Virgin
Galactic, there are several
other parties who have
expressed interest in
venturing into the space
tourism market, including
Space Adventures, Space
Island Group and Bigelow
Aerospace. Owned by
Robert Bigelow, the
company aims to provide
affordable space stations
for corporations. Another
cracker is Armadillo

85. TheAnsariX-Prize& SpaceShipOne
Ansari X-Prize:
$10 million for first vehicle to carry 3
people (or 1+equivalent mass)
to 100km and back twice in two weeks.
Winner:
Scaled Composites SpaceShipOne
designed by Burt Rutan.
Programme cost $25-30 million
Technology licensed to Virgin Galactic
for passenger-carrying service.

86. 9. While the above companies are
mucking about with getting us
ordinary folk into space, NASA
are currently finishing off plans
for Orion, the successor to the
Space Shuttle. Unlike the
Shuttle, Orion will consist of two
different vehicles, one intended
to take people into space, and
one intended to take people and
payloads into space. The craft is
intended to provide transport to
the Moon, something which the
Shuttle was incapable of. Both
vehicles will be so big that a
human being will be shorter than
the US flag NASA is planning to
paint on the side of them.
The Orion - The Space Shuttle’s
Successor.

87. 10. Before it’s even
properly begun, Space
Tourism has a society
called… the Space
Tourism Society. Based
primarily in California,
its goal is to encourage
as many people as
possible to head into
space.

88. 
Many people think that Space
tourists have a very nice and
relaxing trip. That is correct in
some ways and incorrect in
others.
A day in the life of a Space Tourist

89.  Before you take your Flight into
space you are required to pass a
physical to make sure you can handle
the stressful conditions of space
flight. All space Tourists who want to
take a flight to the ISS in a Soyuz taxi
mission must go through a thorough
medical exam before taking off.

90. Space tourists should begin
training several days to a few weeks
before the tests. A regular exercise
program is mandatory as part of a
space tourists preflight training. A
proper diet is also necessary to pass
the preflight medical check-up.
Excess alcohol and caffeine should
be avoided. Smoking should also
be avoided.

91.  Minors People with physical impairments or
disabilities that may prevent them from safely
evacuating a space station or ejecting from an
aircraft
 People with serious heart problems
 People with serious coronary artery disease
 People with major diseases affecting their
organs
 People with severe vertigo or claustrophobia
These people can’t be space tourists:

92. Other than passing a physical exam, space
tourists have to learn about some “elementary
scientific topics.”
 Space Tourists have to have a basic
understanding of astrodynamics.
Astrodynamics is the motion of objects in
space. Space tourists should know:
 What is an orbit
 What is gravity
 What is escape velocity
 What is weightlessness (microgravity)

93. Space food is food that is
made for conditions in
space, mainly gravity-less
food that is non-
perishable, some foods
like salt and pepper are
available but they are not
available in their rocky
form, in space they are
made into a liquid so they
Space Food

94.  Rehydratable (R) Foods - During the flight, water is added back to food
just before it is eaten.
 Thermostabalized (T) - Foods are heat processed to destroy harmful
microorganisms and enzymes.
 Intermediate Moisture (IM) - Food items that are preserved by
restricting the amount of water for microbial growth yet, giving the
food a soft texture.
 Natural Form (NF) - Ready to eat foods such as nuts, cookies and
granola bars.
 Irradiated (I) Meat - beef steak
 Condiments - liquid salt and pepper, ketchup, and mustard.
 Shelf Stable Tortillas - Tortillas that have the oxygen removed to
prevent the growth of mold on them.
 Fresh Foods (FF)- normal hydrated foods that need to be eaten within
the first two days of flight to prevent spoilage.
 Beverages (B) - drinks

95.  food where water
is removed from
the food making
it easier to store,
before the food is
eaten again, water
is re-added to the
food before it is
eaten

96. food which can be
placed in room
temperature and
are placed in cans,
some foods that
are
thermostablized
are tuna fish and
fruits

97.  food where water
is taken out but
enough water is
left to preserve
the softness of the
food, some foods
like these are
dried peaches,
beef jerky, and
pears

98. food where it is ready to
eat and packed in
flexible pouches or
bags, some of these
foods are nuts, granola
bars and cookies

99. food where it is
wrapped in foil
pouches and the
food is then
sterilized by
ionizing radiation
(forming
everything into
ions)

100. quick frozen to
prevent large
ice crystals and
to make sure
that the texture
and quality of
the food stays
the same

101. food that is
fresh like we
have on Earth

102. foods that
need cold
or cool
temperatu
res to
make sure
that it will

103.  The Space Tourists also have to learn
“language training.” Language training is not
a space tourist having to learn a whole other
language, but a space tourist having to learn
certain words from the language that will be
used in space. For example, if a space tourist
speaks English fluently, but is flying on a
Soyuz, they will need to learn some Russian
words so they can communicate better.

104. Space tourists must also undergo
spacesuit and equipment training.
Space tourists who are going to the
Space Station are required to wear a
special suit during launch and
reentry called the Sokol. The Sokol
SK-1 is designed just for space
tourists and it has 5 main functions

105. TheIndustrial
Suborbital
Spacesuit(IS3)

106.  Protection from loss oxygen
 Protection from loss of cabin/capsule
pressure
 Protection from frigid air and water
temperatures
 Protection from extreme heat and
flame
 Protection from blood pooling caused
by weightlessness

107.  Life in space is very different from life on Earth. A
space tourist can find a lot of things to
photograph, here are just a few.
 The Great Wall of China
 Mount Everest
 The Amazon River
 The Bahamas
 Hurricanes
 Volcanic Eruptions
 Lightning Storms
 The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis

108. Sleeping in space can be difficult because the spacecraft is
orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes; this makes it so that the
craft is never completely in darkness for very long. Also the
lights may be on because the crew works in shifts. Motion
sickness and warming rays of the sun may also disrupt a
Space tourists sleep. A space tourist gets a sleeping mask to
keep out most of the light. The sleeping quarters of a space
tourist vary on the spacecraft they are in. A space tourist will
probably sleep in a special sleeping bag that is attached to
the wall. Without the attachment, the space tourist would
float freely around the cabin bumping into things and
possibly getting hurt.
Sleeping….

109. A space station is where
experiments are conducted in outer
space . It is a place for astronauts
to live in while they conduct these
experiments. It can be in space
anywhere from a day to many
years.
