“A Disruptive Technology: The XCOR Fully Reusable Spacecraft”

“A Disruptive Technology: The XCOR Fully Reusable Spacecraft”
Los Angeles Chapter meeting on June 21

XCOR Aerospace was founded 14 years ago to bring the low cost associated with a mature system to the space transportation sector. Flight tests of the world’s first fully reusable piloted spacecraft, the XCOR Lynx Mark I, begin later this year.

Please join us in Los Angeles on Friday, June 21, 2013, 7:30am – 9:00am PST, when Lee Valentine, member of the Board of Directors of XCOR Aerospace, will discuss XCOR’s unique mechanism for funding launch vehicle development, its approach to low-cost development of aerospace hardware, the development and maturation of an engineering culture that facilitates rapid development and test of innovative concepts, and its maturing plans for a fully reusable piloted orbital spacecraft. He will discuss serendipitous events, completely unexpected, that have allowed very rapid progress toward a fully reusable orbital system. He will mention technical approaches to satellite construction enabled by this low-cost transportation that are likely to disrupt the communication satellite market and power generation markets worldwide in the next two decades.
