	Project Daedalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Project Daedalus was a study conducted between 1973 and 1978 by the British Interplanetary Society to design a plausible interstellar unmanned spacecraft.
		Daedalus would be constructed in Earth orbit and have an initial mass of 54,000 tons, including 50,000 tons of fuel and 500 tons of scientific payload.
		Instead, Daedalus would be propelled by a fusion rocket using pellets of deuterium/helium-3 mix that would be ignited in the reaction chamber by inertial confinement using electron beams.

	Project Daedalus
		Conducted between 1973 and 1978 by a group of a dozen scientists and engineers belonging to the British Interplanetary Society, led by Alan Bond, it demonstrated that rapid, unmanned travel to the stars is a practical possibility.
		Certain guidelines were adopted: the Daedalus spacecraft had to use current or near-future technology, be able to reach its destination within a human lifetime, and be flexible enough in its design that it could be sent to any of a number of target stars.
		However, whereas Orion would have employed nuclear fission, the Daedalus engineers opted to power their starship by nuclear fusion – in particular, by a highly-efficient technique known as internal confinement fusion.

	Project Daedalus - Origins
		Daedalus, on the other hand, flew neither too high nor too low, and arrived safely at his destination.
		Project Daedalus is the name chosen for the British Interplanetary Society's Starship study.
		Replying to a question on the economics of an interstellar mission, Dr. Parkinson said that, by the turn of the century, the world's population will have doubled and projects of the sort that we are considering might actually be essential for employment and economic reasons.

	Daedalus EC87-0014-8: Daedalus Project's Light Eagle - Human powered aircraft
		To celebrate the Greek myth of Daedalus, the man who constructed wings of wax and feathers to escape King Minos, the Daedalus project began with the goal of designing, building and testing a human-powered aircraft that could fly the mythical distance, 115 km.
		The Daedalus 88 aircraft was the ship that flew the 199 km from the Iraklion Air Force Base on Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, to the island of Santorini in 3 hours, 54 minutes.
		The Daedalus 88, which later set the world record, was then shipped from MIT to replace the 87's research flights, and for general checkout procedures.

	Daedalus Project History - The Arizona Solar Racing Team
		The team’s first project was building a competitive solar car for Sunrayce 99, the fifth iteration of a biennial solar vehicle competition open to Colleges and Universities across North America.
		As a result of this philosophy, Daedalus, as completed in late March of 1999, was approximately 100 pounds heavier than the Sunrayce-average but proved surprisingly robust and reliable in initial testing.
		Although not the 6th most efficient car in the field, this was a testament to the design strategy of Daedalus, as it was one of the only cars to run flawlessly for all 8 hours.

		Summary: Minnesota's DAEDALUS project in the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) is streamlining the workers' compensation system by doing away with massive amounts of paper and replacing it with state-of-the art client-server technology.
		Before the project, each of the 1.1 million case files related to workplace injuries had to be stored, filed, retrieved and delivered manually.
		The DAEDALUS project contemplated a complete redesign of the manner in which workers' compensation claims are managed in Minnesota.

	Project Orion: Its Life, Death, and Possible Rebirth
		Project Orion was a space vehicle propulsion system that depended on exploding atomic bombs roughly two hundred feet behind the vehicle (1).
		Daedalus would work just as well in the solar system as between the stars, and one can imagine that in 75 to 100 years fusion freighters will be sailing regularly between the planets.

		The culmination of these efforts was the flight on April 23, 1988, of Daedalus, a plane engineered at MIT and named in honor of the mythological inventor who escaped the tyranny of King Minos of Crete by taking to the sky on wings he fashioned using wax and feathers.
		The project’s notebook entries are a curious mixture of precision and informality.
		The records of Project Daedalus (AC 183), including charts, photographs, press releases, and correspondence, are available for research in the Institute Archives and Special Collections, Room 14N-118.

	Human-powered flight- Daedalus seeks record
		Daedalus, the archetypal engineer of Greek mythology, escaped the labyrinth of King Midas by flying out with wings he built himself.
		Project Daedalus, an undertaking jointly organized by MIT and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, may transform the Greek myth into reality.
		The design goals of the Daedalus plane include a 70-mile range, 15 knot speed, the ability to fly at night or in light fog, and a structure that can withstand about three times the force of gravity, Bussolari said.

		The Daedalus project identifies these as priority areas, and as progress occurs, the capacity for attracting funds should increase.
		The Daedalus network is based on a series of federated information hubs, i.e., national country portals, and the central Daedalus portal with the aim to service both the local — in the networked countries - communities of interest and the mass market.
		The PM is ultimately responsible for the success or failure of the project, and he/she has a very clear view of the project objectives and scope, as well as of the means to achieve those objectives.

		For other uses of the name, see Daedalus (disambiguation).
		The European research project DAEDALUS (2000–2002) dealt with the "validation of software components embedded in future generation critical concurrent systems by exhaustive semantic-based static analysis and abstract testing methods based on abstract interpretation".
		Applications included the static analysis of multi-threaded computer programs, for which a programming tool that checks for the absence of programming errors was provided.

		The aerodynamic design of Daedalus was by Mark Drela, a Massachussetts Institute of Technology assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics, who uses Kevlar yarn to lash fuselage tubes made of sheets of a superlight, superstiff graphite epoxy that are layered, shaped, and baked in an oven.
		The Daedalus flight from Crete to the island of Santorin, 72 miles away, was flawless until the pilot, Steve Bussolari, began to experience fatigue.
		The end result was that the Daedalus crashed into the beach, in turn splintering the graphite in the tail boom and ultimately dividing the wing spar on the right side.

		The technology to process plastic waste into useful after-market products has been available for years; however, little attention has been given to providing for the "have-nots", from the excesses of the "haves".
		Through an innovative design, recycling process, and fabrication technology, the Dædalus shelter project provides for the wholly-disposable utilization of substantial quantities of plastic waste, which turns its non-biodegradable liability into an asset.
		Neither homelessness nor waste plastic is new; however, this is the first time that any project of this nature has been devised to address both problems through a common mechanism that also emphasizes sustainable growth through the establishment of regional production centers in various countries.
