PFS Aerospace announces First Flights of Low Cost Satellite Delivery System for Independent Communications as Private Space Access Begins While Age of Space Shuttle Ends

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) From Cavallo Point on San Francisco Bay, as the last Space Shuttle flies past on the final leg of it's journey , PFS Aerospace (http://www.pfs-aerospace.com) announced today that the era of easy commercial access to space has arrived.

Under contract, proprietary PFS launch systems allow a client to deliver a personal music network, video network, broadcast news camera or sensor package to space within hours of the need.

The highlight of the PFS Aerospace Fleet is the System 1 platform. It uses a combination of inflatable lifting body technology and counter-buoyancy propulsion to move payloads into space on short notice and at a less than 10 times, or lower, cost than competing space companies.

As the inventors and issued-patent-holders of ion microthruster technology and wafer fab construction for microthrusters and with a long history in space dating back to the first private rocket launches, PFS is poised to capture the value-launch market.

The System 1 launch and recovery system are the current lowest cost access-to-space technology on Earth.
System 1 technology has never exploded on launch and is unlikely to ever explode on launch. PFS customers state that "videos of PFS competitor's launch-craft and payloads turning into multi-million dollar desert fireballs and small craters is upsetting". PFS believes a space launch shouldn't be a nerve shattering gamble.

PFS states that System 1 technology launches won't burst people's ear-drums, terrify wildlife for counties or destroy the atmosphere. PFS also states that System 1 launches are the greenest and cleanest launches on Earth and that System 1 technology will save a client more money than any other supplier.

PFS System 1 launches have 60% less parts to break, fail or freeze up, than competing systems.

System 1 technology can be launched from anywhere on Earth with shipping container-mobile based modular control rooms.
PFS System 1 technology is protected by issued and pending patents.

The PFS personal satellites and spacecraft have been developed with a technology consortium focused on the production of low-cost-easy-orbit personal satellite systems for community service groups. The first projects are focused on emergency communications, regional communications, toxin sensing and space debris clean-up. PFS has developed unique technologies to improve the process, reduce costs and ease logistics.
