Engine Development - outcome
Although the meeting we had last month in Coventry was amicable and
productive, in that Yuzhnoye SDO are happy to work with us in principle,
we were not able to find another European company to work with us to
form a consortium to make the bid for Framework Programme funding from
the European Commission and there is now no time to find a such a
company, write up a consortium agreement and have all parties sign it.
So, we must look out for another opportunity of that sort.

All this means that the Spacefleet Project is still without finance, but
it is not without hope. We believe that we will find finance for it, if
we keep trying, and if we get lucky. We are certainly not about to give
up and go back to bed! The project is worth pursuing, not least because
it is the only full carbon-neutral space project proposal in the world. |
