  Space Florida: Lost In Space?  Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

Three years after being formed to bring order out of a mish-mash of space-related state agencies, Space Florida finds itself fighting for its life in the midst of a barrage of criticism, scandal and investigations.

  SPACEX AUGUST PROGRESS UPDATE (MOSTLY FALCON 9)  Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

Space BusinessThis has been an incredibly busy period for SpaceX and for me personally, with one side effect being that non-critical tasks like website updates have been postponed. Now that we have finished submitting materials for the NASA COTS (Commercial Orbital Transportation Services) demonstration program critical design review and have hired some additional resources to help compile information, website updates should be posted every four to six weeks.

  Getting Into The Launch Business: The Amroc Story, Part 7  Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

[Editor's Note: This is the seventh part in a series of articles covering the history of the pioneering launch company American Rocket Company]

The Proof Of The Pudding: SET-1

The date for the first launch of Amroc's test vehicle, the Single Engine Test-1 (SET-1) slipped from July to August, 1989. In July, traveling to the test site, George Koopman was involved in a single-car accident along an isolated stretch of highway and was killed. He was 44 years old. The launch of SET-1 was scheduled for weeks hence on August 14.

In the words of friend, and Amroc partner and VP of External Affairs James Bennett, This represents an enormous loss to AMROC. Koopman as a true space pioneer, not only by virtue of his key role in founding and sustaining AMROC, but also his long support of and participation in organizations such as the National Space Society. The realization of George Koopman's dream of creating affordable access to space will be his memorial."
