Deleon & Associates

The Argentine X PRIZE team of De Leon and Associates reports progress in its work towards a new flight test, having started in the final design of the capsule cockpit. Building of a flight vehicle/capsule is anticipated to begin shortly; at present several ergonomic studies are underway to determine how best to acommodate three persons in the spacecraft (as required by X PRIZE contest rules).
Testing of the thermal protection system has already been achieved succesfully, shown here in the thermal plot. http://www.deleontechnologies.com/space.htm
