Saturday I attended a workshop for NASA’s newest prize competition, the NanoSat launcher Challenge. The two million dollar prize is for the first to haul a one Kilo satellite to orbit twice in a week.
Team Phoenicia, a Google X-Prize team hosted the workshop. It was amazing to see the NASA guy in charge of the thing and the AST guy in charge of the launch license in the same room. It was a good start to the competition. I don’t know if we’re going to take a run at it, but we’re looking at it pretty hard.
