Space Propulsion Systems E'Prime Eagle
UPDATE BULLITEN - DECEMBER 2009
SPS Paper on the Company’s Advanced Solid Propulsion Technology has been Accepted for both Presentation at the Aerospace Systems Conference and Publication in the Proceedings of that Conference
After reviewing the technologies of both SPS and E'Prime,members of the Technical Program Committee (FAA/Air Space Transportation (AST)) requested that SPS/E’Prime jointly participate in the Aerospace Systems Conference to be held in Los Angeles, California in February of 2010. Based on that request, SPS and E’Prime prepared a technical manuscript on the SPS Propulsion Technology, entitled “Introduction to NSEP Propellants and Launch Systems”, and submitted the paper for peer review by the Technical committee of the Aerospace Systems conference.
Peer review is the screening process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given field who are qualified and able to perform impartial review. Peer review is considered essential to academic quality of the paper or manuscript. This type of review is done during the screening of submitted manuscripts to encourage authors to meet the accepted standards of their discipline and prevents the dissemination of irrelevant findings, unwarranted claims, unacceptable interpretations, and personal views. Publications that have not undergone peer review are likely to be regarded with suspicion by scholars and professionals.
The peer review process has been completed, and the Technical Program Committee of the Aerospace System Conference recently informed SPS that: “On behalf of the Technical Program Committee of the 2010 NSBE Aerospace Systems Conference, we are pleased to inform you that the following paper has been SELECTED for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the conference proceedings.” Copies of the Review sent to SPS further stated that there were no technical deficiencies found in the paper submitted on the SPS Propulsion Technology.
The NSBE Aerospace Systems Conference (NSBE-ASC) caters to a diverse array of companies and government agencies that are networked into every major aviation and space program in the country. The NSBE-ASC is a forum for the dissemination of information focused on state of the art technologies,applications, and developments related to aeronautical and astronauticalindustries and disciplines.
