The USST website<\/a> is sporting a new, updated look – quite spiffy IMHO.\u00a0 They’ve also been updating their “News” section\u00a0and we learn from it several interesting things.\u00a0 Their August 14th update states:<\/p>\n

Members of USST have photos taken to be published in “NASA 50”, a publication celebrating the 50th anniversary of NASA.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s mega-cool.\u00a0 Also, their August 22nd entry states:<\/p>\n

USST has been unofficially notified by the FAA that they will be approved to operate their laser power source at the Elevator 2010 competition in Salt Lake City, Utah.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out their News section<\/a> for all USST updates.\u00a0 We also have other confirmation that they will be using a laser to power their Climber this year.\u00a0 From their website’s Home Page:<\/p>\n

For this year\u2019s Elevator: 2010 Competition, the USST is making use of a high-powered laser and we are currently conducting thorough design and testing in order to provide the next generation of beamed power at this years competition.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That makes at least two laser powered entries this year; LaserMotive\u00a0being the other one.\u00a0 And, we have the Andromeda Connection’s “Solar Laser” entry, too.\u00a0 I have no doubt that returning competitors KC Space Pirates, UBC-Snowstar and University of Michigan’s MClimber will all up their game.\u00a0 Add that\u00a0to the\u00a0other first-time\u00a0entrants\u00a0and this year’s competition is shaping up to be the most intense yet.\u00a0 If you haven’t made your plans to be there yet, I’d urge you to do so.\u00a0 This is an event not to be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
