The X PRIZE Cup is an annual two day air and space expo designed to bring together all sections of the aerospace industry to demonstrate their capabilities for the general public. The event features live rockets, static displays, competitions and presentations by some of the industry’s leading minds. X PRIZE Cup - 2008 The next X PRIZE Cup is currently in the planning and development stage. We will be announcing dates and locations for the next X PRIZE Cup sometime this year. Stay tuned! X PRIZE Cup - 2007 The third annual X PRIZE Cup was held at Holloman Air Force Base on October 27 and 28, 2007. It was the first space expo ever in which aircraft and rockets flew at the same event, and was the result of a unique partnership between Holloman Air Force Base, the State of New Mexico and the X PRIZE Foundation. In addition to the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, the 85,000 people in attendance were able to see a state of the art air show with F-117s, F-22s, the Wings of Blue Jump team, acres of static aircraft and space displays, and much, much more.
Education Day took place on Friday, October 26, and was an opportunity for over 6000 students to explore the static displays of the X PRIZE Cup before the general public. They were able to engage in a number of activities, from launching model rockets to attending talks by Anousheh Ansari, the first female private astronaut, and by Nancy Conrad, wife of the late Pete Conrad, the third man to walk on the Moon.
