Space Access 2009 - Charles Pooley - N-Prize

Charles talked about N-Prize, a contest for microlaunchers. These satellites are really small, between 9.9 grams and 19.9 grams. To win the contest the satellite needs to orbit at least nine time. The prize is about $1500.

According to Wikipedia, the N stands for Nanostalellite or Negligible Resources.

The hope is by getting lots of people trying different things the edge of technology will be pushed.
