Technical Session I: New Ways to Get to Orbit with Near-Term Scheduled Launches

Abstract

Exoterra is a non-profit corporation devoted to raising funds to advance truly breakthrough technologies, methods, and products in the effort to drastically lower the cost of space access. Overcoming high launch costs is a key, common goal of dozens of other organizations, entrepreneurs and individuals. ExoTerra is focusing on our common desire for cheap space access and offering a non-exclusive, easy way to cooperate in large numbers and thereby effect real change. The principle funding source for the R&D program is the ExoTerra credit card, which will provide 0.5% of all card charges as income to ExoTerra. A key discriminator of our program is the fact that research grants are awarded based on the periodic vote of all ExoTerra card members. This system provides for tremendous positive feedback and growth potential.
