Friday, July 17, 2009 – Welcome to NewSpace 2009 The NewSpace 2009 conference will open on Friday with a from the heart speech by SFF Founder Rick Tumlinson. Following this will be a screening of the film Orphans of Apollo, which tells the extraordinary true story of a small group of entrepreneurs who commandeered the Mir Space Station. Saturday, July 18, 2009 – Enabling the Future Serving as the opening day of the full NewSpace conference, Saturday will begin with a special session organized by NASA Ames, which will explore public and private partnerships, small satellites, and commercial space initiatives at this leading edge research center. The afternoon will investigate what opportunities the future holds for NewSpace. Sunday, July 19, 2009 – The Business of New Space Sunday morning will host a Business Plan Competition, where submitters will compete for real prizes. The afternoon will investigate business and policy of NewSpace. The day will close with a series of business case studies, where both successful and unsuccessful startups will be investigated and compared. Monday, July 20, 2009 – Apollo 11 Anniversary: Moon, Mars and Beyond Monday will serve as a look at what destinations lie in the future for NewSpace. To this end, it will investigate not only what destinations exist and how they will be utilized, but also how will we get there. The day will conclude with a final view of “Where Do We Go from Here?” The annual gala will follow, which will serve not only to commemorate Apollo, but to investigate what Apollo means to the future.

NewSpace 2009: Flags and Footprints – or the New Frontier? July 18–20, 2009 Mountain View, CA Tetra Wine Tetra-a harmonious fusion of four. Our 2006 Tetra Red Wine is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc and Petit Verdot. Each lot was individually harvested from exceptional vineyards in the cooler southern part of the Napa Valley, and then vinified separately in order to fully capture and showcase the essence of the fruit sources. Fermentation variables included cold soak (to increase extractability of color and tannin), inclusion of whole berries (to amplify primary fruit), fermentation temperature, cap management, and extended maceration (to soften tannins and stabilize color). Following fermentation, the free run was racked to small French oak barrels (75% new), where the wines underwent malolactic conversion. Wines were aged for 18 months in barrel, and then the final blend was painstakingly crafted through many sessions of trial-and-error tastings, finally honing in on the best-of-the-best. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration to maximize flavors and textures.

Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) SEDS, the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, is a group dedicated to expanding the role of human exploration and development of space. SEDS seeks to educate the public in such a way as to attain this goal. SEDS has many ways of doing this, including educational outreach, conferences, and chapter projects. The Development of Outer Space: Book Signing Interest in outer space property rights has been growing since Congress funded NASA’s Project Constellation to enable missions to the Moon and Mars for eventual colonization. Public debate is intensifying over proper ways to incentivize private enterprise in space and under what circumstances title may be acquired over lunar and Martian resources. Thomas Gangale will be signing his new book, “The Development of Outer Space: Sovereignty and Property Rights in International Space Law”. VirtuePlay Lunar Explorer Some day, you will be able to book a trip to the Moon. Until then, we bring the Moon to you. The VirtuePlay Lunar Explorer is a realistic interactive visual representation of the Moon using actual data collected by NASA spacecraft and earthbound telescopes. It uses real-time 3D graphics techniques to provide an immersive virtual environment for the user to explore our nearest neighbor in a variety of ways - at a distance, in orbit, or walking on the lunar surface.
