The X-PRIZE Foundation - The $10 million Ansari X-PRIZE was awarded to Burt Rutan and his team at Scaled Composites for successfully completing the first private space flights aboard SpaceShipOne in September and October 2004. Several teams, including Scaled Composites, are continuing their development of privately-funded space vehicles. To promote this innovation, the X-PRIZE Foundation is currently developing the X-PRIZE CUP, a series of rocket ship races to be held in New Mexico. In addition, the X-PRIZE Foundation is developing a new set of prizes to encourage the private development of vehicles for point to point and orbital space flight.
