SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The purpose of the 2006 Tether
Challenge is to develop very strong
tether material for use in various
structural applications. The competition
requires a 50% improvement in
breaking force from year to year, starting
with a commercially available tether in
2005. Additional requirements (such as
operating temperature range, vacuum
compatibility, and controlled electrical
conductivity) will be added in future
years.

I. Challenge Basis and Prize Amount
The complete 2006 Tether Challenge
purse is $250,000. The 2006 Tether
Challenge will be conducted in two
rounds. The first round will pit tethers
from two teams directly against each
other to determine the team with the
strongest tether. The second round will
determine if the first-round winner is at
least 50% stronger than a house tether
that represents off-the-shelf materials. If
it is, that team will win the competition.

Team Member is also the Team Leader.
Individuals and corporate entities that
are other than U.S. citizens or entities
may be Team Members, subject to
written request to and approval by
Spaceward. All Team Members will
apply to register for the Challenge
through Team Leader and must receive

All Team Members must execute an
‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’ committing to
all terms of this Agreement. By signing
below, Team Leader represents that all
Team Members have executed the
Adoption of Agreement and that no one
else will become a member of the Team
or participate in the Challenge until
such new Team Member has signed this
Agreement. Spaceward may disqualify
any Team if it discovers that a person
is acting as a Team Member who has not
signed this Agreement. Team Leader
will provide Spaceward with a copy of
the ‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’ signed by
each team member.
Any U.S. Government organization or
organization principally or substantially
funded by the Federal Government,
including Federally Funded Research
and Development Centers, Governmentowned, contractor operated (GOCO)
facilities, and University Affiliated
Research Centers, are ineligible to be a
Team Leader or Team Member. U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary
The 2006 Beam Power Challenge is
designed to promote the development of
new power distribution technologies.
These technologies can be applied to
many aspects of space exploration,
including surface- or space-based pointto-point power transmission or delivery
for robotic and/or human expeditions to
planetary surfaces. This challenge may
also support the development of farterm space infrastructure concepts such
as space elevators and solar power
satellites.
This challenge requires teams to
design and build a climber (a machine
that can go up and down a tether
ribbon) while carrying a payload. Power
will be beamed from a transmitter to a
receiver on the climber.
I. Challenge Basis and Prize Amount
The 2006 Beam Power Challenge total
purse is $200,000. Each climber must
climb to a height of 50 meters traveling
at a minimum speed of 1 meter per
second. The team with the highest score
(the product of average velocity and
payload mass normalized by the climber
mass) will win the competition.
II. Eligibility
The Centennial Challenges Program
has established the following language
in the CHALLENGE Team Agreements
governing eligibility. CHALLENGE is
the 2006 Beam Power Challenge.
TEAM is defined as an individual,
organization or corporation, or a group
of individuals, organizations or
corporations that register to participate
in CHALLENGE. TEAM is comprised of
a TEAM LEADER and TEAM
MEMBERS.
TEAM LEADER is defined as a single
individual, organization, or corporation,
which is the sole agent representing
TEAM regarding its participation in
CHALLENGE. TEAM LEADERS that are
individuals must be U.S. citizens.
TEAM LEADERS that are organizations
or corporations must be incorporated in
the U.S. and majority-owned and
controlled by U.S. citizens. Corporate or
other organizational TEAM LEADERS
must appoint an individual who is an
officer of the Corporation or
organization to represent the TEAM
LEADER.
