Entrepreneurial Business Plans

A limited number of companies will have the opportunity to present at the SIS4. The following companies are currently scheduled:

Rocket Racing
The Rocket Racing LeagueÆ is an aerospace sports and entertainment organization that combines the competition of racing with the excitement of rocketry. The RRL was established by X-Prize founder Peter Diamandis and two-time Indianapolis 500 champion team partner Granger Whitelaw to advance the technology and increase public awareness of space travel. The NASCAR-style racing league features rocket-powered aircraft that will be flown by top pilots through a 'three-dimensional track way' at venues throughout the world. With millions of fans who enjoy racing and air shows, and an even wider audience enthralled with humanity's next step into space, rocket racing is destined to become the future of racing. http://www.rocketracingleague.com

Ecliptic Enterprises Corporation
7 year-old Ecliptic Enterprises Corporation is the world's leading supplier of video systems used on rockets and spacecraft, with a launch rate of on average once per month. Its popular RocketCamô imaging systems and related data-transport systems are used routinely on launch vehicles (e.g., (Space Shuttle), spacecraft (LCROSS lunar mission) and other remote platforms (SpaceShipOne, etc.) to provide dramatic engineering- and PR-quality color video. The companyís strategic focus is in the Earth-Moon-Mars arena, pursuing and supporting other special projects involving aerospace avionics, small space payloads and instrumentation, mission ground systems and commercial space-themed imaging content. http://www.EclipticEnterprises.com

XCOR
XCOR Aerospace was founded in Mojave, CA, in 1999 with the goal of developing and building reusable rocket propulsion systems and rocket-powered vehicles to achieve suborbital and orbital flight. This year the firm announced a two-seat suborbital spacecraft called the Lynx. The Lynx, designed to take off and land horizontally, will first fly in 2010. It follows construction and flight of a series of reliable low-cost rocket engines and two rocket-powered aircraft, the EZ-Rocket and the Rocket Racer. Winner of innovation awards from Time Magazine, Popular Science and other publications, in 2007, XCOR earned a spot on the prestigious Inc. 500 list of fastest growing firms. These achievements have been funded with investment capital from angel investors, and from revenue generated from government and commercial contracts and consulting services. http://www.xcor.com

Orbital Outfitters 
Orbital Outfitters is the world's first company to design and manufacture space and pressure suits for the first wave of normal, everyday people intent on entering space. This is a capability that all manned vehicle manufacturers and operators will need. By focusing on this high value area, spread across multiple customers, the future of OO does not rise or fall with any one company or customer. With signed contracts already being executed and several signed MOUs, the company is a going concern with an interest in expanding the range of markets that it is capable of servicing. http://www.orbitaloutfitters.com

Odyssey Moon
Odyssey Moon Limited is a private commercial lunar enterprise headquartered in the Isle of Man involving partners in many nations. Odyssey Moon is the first team to complete registration for the $30M Google Lunar X PRIZE competition. The company made its first public debut on December 6th, 2007, at the Space Investment Summit in San Jose, California, unveiling its plans to make history with the first private robotic mission to the surface of the Moon and win the Google Lunar X PRIZE. The inaugural Odyssey Moon mission will involve a unique small robotic Lander designed to deliver scientific, exploration and commercial payloads to the surface of the Moon. http://www.odysseymoon.com
