Masten Space Systems announced
Monday it has become an official partner of the 2005 Countdown to
the X Prize Cup, which will be held in Las Cruces, New Mexico from
October 6th through the 9th.
"We share the X Prize Cup's vision of making space a place that
people can expect to travel to in their lifetime," said David
Masten, CEO of Masten Space Systems. "We are helping realize that
vision by building extremely affordable suborbital launch services.
We're putting the cost of microgravity research into the 'bake
sale' range."
The X Prize Cup is an annual event in the spirit of the largest
action-packed spectator events such as Grand Prix Racing and The
America's Cup. This year's Countdown to the X Prize Cup is the
ultimate venue for the entire family to watch and learn about the
next generation of vehicles that will take the rest of us to space.
The X Prize Cup will be held October 6th - 9th in Las Cruces and
Alamogordo, New Mexico. Tens of thousands of people will come to
see racing taken to new heights as industry leaders conduct
test-flights, engine firings, aircraft fly-ins and much more.
While at the X Prize Cup event,
Masten Space Systems will display its new engines, discuss test
results, and provide flight profile details. Interested customers
are encouraged to stop by the Masten Space Systems tent to discuss
mission profiles and fundraising options.
