Difference between Ansari X Prize and Spaceflight

Ansari X Prize vs. Spaceflight

The Ansari X Prize was a space competition in which the X Prize Foundation offered a US$10,000,000 prize for the first non-government organization to launch a reusable manned spacecraft into space twice within two weeks. Spaceflight (also written space flight) is ballistic flight into or through outer space.

Similarities between Ansari X Prize and Spaceflight

Ansari X Prize and Spaceflight have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Brian Binnie, Delta-v, Earth, Geocentric orbit, Human spaceflight, Mike Melvill, NASA, North American X-15, Outer space, Private spaceflight, Scaled Composites, Solar System, Space colonization, Space elevator, Space exploration, Space tourism, Spaceplane, SpaceShipOne, Sputnik 1, Virgin Galactic.

Brian Binnie

William Brian Binnie (born 1953) is a former United States Navy officer and is one of the test pilots for SpaceShipOne, the experimental spaceplane developed by Scaled Composites.

Delta-v

Delta-v (literally "change in velocity"), symbolised as ∆v and pronounced delta-vee, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics, is a measure of the impulse that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launch from, or landing on a planet or moon, or in-space orbital maneuver.
