Full Scale Model On Display At The San Francisco Convention

XCOR Aerospace will be at the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) annual meeting – and taking its full scale Lynx spacecraft model along for the ride. The model will be on display December 15-19 at the AGU Exhibit Hall in San Francisco.

XCOR's Director of Payload Sales and Operations Khaki Rodway will be on site to present an overview of space-based research the AGU community will be conducting on Lynx. The session is titled Next Generation Instrumentation in Solar and Space Physics: Critical Measurements from Low-Cost Missions/Platforms.

AGU Fall Meeting attendees are invited to explore and sit inside the model Lynx cockpit, examine payload experiments, and discover for themselves the research potential of Lynx.

"Lynx is revolutionizing space-based research and making space easily accessible to the AGU community via its 'Your Mission. Our Ship.' program for customized scientific and education payload flights," says Rodway. "The spacecraft will offer high frequency flights entirely dedicated to the researcher's mission."

"This low-cost platform provides the ability to design and conduct repeatable, high resolution experiments. Scientists will be able to gather in-situ measurements at multiple points in the atmosphere, conduct solar and space physics research, or direct a human-tended telescope at planetary objects for above-atmosphere astronomy."

The AGU Fall Meeting is the largest gathering of the world's earth and space scientists with approximately 24,000 attendees. XCOR's team will be at a booth in the AGU Exhibit Hall from Monday, December 15 through Friday, December 19. There will be a daily drawing for a 1:24 scale model of the Lynx as well as exclusive XCOR-AGU 2014 Fall Meeting commemorative pins.

Rodway's session on space-based research will take place 11:50am, December 19.
