DreamSpace™ Enters Space
Tourism Market through Technology Partnership with The da Vinci
Project - Las Cruces, New Mexico – October
21, 2006: DreamSpace™, a new space tourism
company was announced at the XPRIZE Cup in Las Cruces, New Mexico
by Brian Feeney, founder of The da Vinci Project. DreamSpace™ has
partnered with The da Vinci Project to pursue the emerging space
tourism market.
This collaborative effort has introduced the XF1, the first of
a planned line of multiple passenger spacecraft. The one person
technology demonstrator will be used to constantly broaden the
spaceflight envelope, in preparation for the DreamSpace™ goal
of Space Tourism. Technical details for this new ship were released
today, at the XPRIZE Cup and online at DreamSpaceGroup.net.
“DreamSpace™ is pushing the envelope in the field
of commercial space tourism”, said Brian Feeney, President. “We
have chosen the 2006 XPRIZE Cup to unveil the new XF1 prototype
spacecraft design, a one person spaceflight test bed for our 9‑person
commercial space tourism spacecraft."
The full scale XF1 will be ready for testing by the summer of
2007. It will employ a new liquid rocket propulsion system and
aircraft turbine engine. This is a winged space aircraft design
able to operate out of an airport style spaceport with airline
efficiency. It reflects both the technology and design approach
for DreamSpace’s space tourism business model.
