SpaceShipOne is carried aloft while winning the Ansari XPRIZE in 2004. (XPRIZE photo) XPRIZE Foundation Has Given Five Awards In 1714, the British government offered 20,000 pounds to anyone who could solve the greatest scientific challenge of the 18th century: pinpointing a ship’s location at sea by knowing its longitude. This challenge produced two solutions. Then in 1919, New York hotelier Raymond Orteig offered $25,000 to anyone who flew nonstop between New York and Paris. Charles Lindbergh collected that prize in 1927. Started in 1995, the nonprofit XPRIZE Foundation emulates these examples by offering rewards to those who produce “radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity.” The foundation has awarded five prizes: $10 Million Ansari XPRIZE for Suborbital Flight (2004). A challenge to build a private spaceship that carries three people to space twice in two weeks. $2 Million Northrup Grumman Lunar Lander XCHALLENGE (2009). A challenge to build precise, efficient small rocket systems. $10 Million Progressive Insurance Automotive XPRIZE (2010). A challenge to design and race vehicles that get 100 mpg for the mass market. $1 Million Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup XCHALLENGE (2011). A challenge to speed the pace of cleaning surface oil spills on the ocean. $2 Million Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE (2015). A challenge to develop better tools to understand ocean acidification. Other challenges are ongoing, and the foundation cancels contests that are not successful. Visit http://www.xprize.org/ for more information.

Since 2004, the foundation has completed five XPRIZE competitions. The first was the $10 million Ansari XPRIZE that created the first private-industry-produced reusable spacecraft. The ocean health XPRIZE competition challenged teams of engineers, scientists and innovators worldwide to create a precise pH sensor that would measure ocean chemistry from its shallowest waters to deepest depths. The aim of the competition was to provide incentive for the development of accurate, affordable instruments to measure ocean acidification. The oceans absorb about a third of the carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere by humans, which makes the seas more acidic and may lead to calamitous results. More accurate and affordable instruments may help scientists understand and possibly solve the problem. Team Sunburst from landlocked Missoula had some serious competition in the room. The other finalists from around the globe included Team ANB (Cambridge, England), Team XYLEM (Bergen, Norway), Team DuraFET (USA) and HpHS (Tokyo). When Team DuraFET was introduced, about 15 people walked on stage. Nervous about the resources they were up against, Jim Beck whispered to his colleagues, “They are legion.” The XPRIZE actually was broken into two $750,000 grand prizes – one for affordability and one for accuracy – and then two $250,000 second-place awards in the same categories. XPRIZE did a short film on each finalist team. In the Sunburst clip, DeGrandpre says, “I call myself an inland oceanographer because we don’t have an ocean here in Montana.” Beck continued: “One of the challenges of doing chemical oceanography 480 miles from the ocean is getting seawater.
