Background XADS: Directed Energy, Counter-IED and Non-Lethal VertiPod 2: Vertical Takeoff flying platform for military and civilian applications LunaTrex: Turn-key space operations and Google Lunar X PRIZE competition

Background XADS: Non-Lethal Lasers

New, parallel effort, having purchased another company’s design to manufacture an heavier VTOL flying platform

Low-cost space access Turn-Key Space Operations Google Lunar X-Prize

Mission Control Center Operations Low-cost operations for small-mid sats Data Center; partnered with Orbit Frontiers for Space Data Library Launch and Integration Service Consolidation International partnerships to minimize costs and maximize capabilities Spacecraft Control Module (SCM)

New Facility Will house AirBuoyant ops and LunaTrex Mission Control R&D and Production Hangar for flight operations Centralized offices LEED-certified, green building Wind and solar power Biodiesel Gensets R-40 insulation

Launch and Land a small Rover on Moon Must take HD video and travel 500 meters Must broadcast video to Earth $20 Million Grand Prize; $5 million 2 nd Prize LunaTrex currently involves companies from Indiana, Alabama, Ohio and Arizona, with an eye to international collaboration LunaTrex will involve university students, including those from Purdue and the University of Dayton, and others to make attempt. Sound principles; low cost, safe attempt

The Team So Far

Why do we think we can do this? Every element of the effort is accounted for by experience of individuals on the team. Once the overall project is broken down into its constituent components, nothing is all that far- fetched. It is not up to one individual or one company – it is a growing alliance of many.
