On September 16, 2004, Antimatter Energy Inc requested NASA’s approval to send our company's spacecraft into 9P/Tempel 1 Comet’s tail for acquiring 5-10 grams of antimatter that is being blasted off the comet by solar dust particles. The spacecraft has been designed for catching and safely storing antimatter in Penning Traps.

• Antimatter is a mirror image of matter and can be a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.  Like matter, antimatter is composed of 109 antimatter elements, which have been incorporated into the Periodic Table of Matter-Antimatter Elements. When matter and antimatter come together, energy is created according to E = mc²: The most efficient energy source in the universe. For more information, please visit www.matter-antimatter.com.

• Antimatter is extremely valuable. To make a gram of antimatter is estimated to cost $60 trillion per gram or twice the World’s Gross National Product.  We estimate antimatter can be mined from comets for under $1 billion per gram. This means that antimatter is an economical source of energy.

• Spacecraft using antimatter propulsion will take millions of people to space stations orbiting the Earth in minutes, the Moon in hours and Mars in days. With advanced technology, people will be traveling to the stars in weeks. United States will achieve Energy Independence.  Please visit www.AntimatterEnergy.com for more information.

NASA’s approval is crucial for obtaining private financing. We are hopeful that NASA will approve our request by the end of this year.
