"
Last September , SpaceDev announced it had signed a Space Act
agreement with NASA Ames Research Center to explore various designs
for safe, affordable sub-orbital and orbital human space flight.
Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current
expectations. Readers are cautioned
not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in
this release and to read it in conjunction with the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB, including the consolidated financial statements
filed therewith.S.

Detailed, comparative launch trajectory and re-entry analyses
were performed in conjunction with the NASA Ames thermal protection
team in order to evaluate the performance requirements for the
propulsion modules, and to define a thermal protection system design
that would provide the cost, performance and safety necessary for
routine passenger flights to low orbit and back.

"By combining existing technologies and designs in a unique and
innovative manner, we believe we can reduce cost , risk and time to
market for commercially viable human space transport., for a grant to support the agency's Cosmochemistry Research
Program.

"These results are very exciting and we believe even more strongly
that SpaceDev can quickly develop a safe and affordable space
transportation system based on existing propulsion technologies and
vehicle designs," said Jim Benson, SpaceDev's founding chairman and
CEO.

SpaceDev's innovations include the design, manufacture , marketing and
operation of sophisticated micro- and nano-satellites, hybrid
rocket-based orbital Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicles (MoTVs)
as well as sub-orbital and orbital hybrid rocket -based propulsion
systems for safe human space flight.
The research also supports the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA's long-
term plan to return astronauts to the moon and extend exploration to Mars and
beyond.
