Team Prometheus Home Page

Team Prometheus is an organization of individual collaborators who are
working to prove that economical methods exist to utililize space to the
benefit of mankind. We also effort to introduce an era of affordable space
technologies that have been out of the reach of the private marketplace,
awaiting the kind of economical applications we are discovering. Such
technologies will become increasingly accessible to humanity, much like
the way, as the lore goes, fire became an indespenseable energy to humanity
after "Prometheus" introduced the first sparks to mankind.

We are focused on the discovery and development of low-cost methods by
which to deploy tiny satellite spacecraft around Earth and other Planets.
Organizations, corporations, and societies will benefit from efficient
methods we are developing to launch this nano-satellite technology into
low-earth orbit.

Team Prometheus is currently considered a leading contestant in the
N-Prize Low-Earth-orbit contest. It's an open international contest to
achieve nine low-Earth-orbit revolutions without government funding of
any kind. The N-Prize contest parameters are millions of dollars less than
the typical satellite launch. As such, we are certain any non-governmental
organization to achieve such an affordable milestone in space utilization will
create both un-dreamed of commercial opportunities as well as draw the
attention of business-minded space visionaries world-wide.

Our team is composed of brilliant, resourceful, dedicated and pioneering
individuals who are devoted to the idea that space truly is the new frontier
for future generations; that space is the next source for the most important
scientific discoveries; and that space provides the most significant untapped
resource for global economic growth.
