Space Elevator Power Beaming Challenge

Posted by Chris Radcliff in Calendar, Space Elevator on June 2, 2009

Location:
NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (watch on NASA TV)
Edwards Air Force Base, Mojave, CA

2009 Space Elevator GamesThe 2009 Space Elevator Games are on! A two-million-dollar prize purse provided by the NASA Centennial Challenges has been lined up, six teams are slated to participate, and it’s all happening in our (relative) backyard: NASA Dryden in Mojave.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to attend, at least not in person. As mentioned on the Space Elevator Blog:

Because of the logistics involved, mainly the use of high-powered lasers and the competition’s location at a secure facility, it will not be open to the public.  At http://www.spaceelevatorgames.org, which is the official site of this competition (or on this blog, of course) you will be able to follow all of the events as they are happening.  The competition will be televised, live, on NASA TV.

Can’t wait!
