XCOR Aerospace announced today
that principals from the company will make presentations at the Space Access
Society’s annual conference, Space Access ’02.
The conference is being held
at the Quality Inn South Mountain in Ahwatukee, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix,
April 25 through 27.
XCOR founders, including Dan DeLong, Chief Engineer, and
Aleta Jackson, Sourcing and Administration, will make presentations on various
aspects of XCOR’s development, the EZ-Rocket, and future plans.
This will be a homecoming for Jackson who grew up in the Phoenix area and
is a former member of the Arizona Space Commission.
Jackson stated, “We are
very pleased to be addressing the Space Access Society on the progress of
XCOR.
We will be able to share an inside view of a rocket engine company from
start up to international recognition.”

will always hold special meaning for XCOR since their first major funding
developed as a result of a previous Space Access annual meeting.
The Space Access Society’s purpose is to promote radically cheaper access
to space.
