First live pictures and dispatches from a skiing North and South Pole expedition.

Start in Canada. Reached the North Pole May 2002. Expedition duration 67 days. No guides, no air support.

Start at the edge of Antarctica. Reached the South Pole February 2002. Expedition duration 56 days. No guides, no air support.

Four Guinness World Records.

IP camera (first released in 1996) on the summit of Mount Everest. May 26, 1999.

First WiFi network to Everest summit, May 1999 (the same year the 802.11b WiFi standard was released).

The independent expedition fixed the ropes above the icefall to the summit of Everest with a team of only five Sherpas. Sirdar Babu Shirri Sherpa, broke a medical record by setting up a tent on the summit of Everest and spending a night there without supplementary oxygen.

Eiger stage one. Preparing for tie-down vertical event.

Pythom's first hot firing of regeneratively cooled Asterex engine, developed in-house and one of the few originated in the US in the class. Fire tested only nine months after funding, in a second firing shortly after the engine reached record 10Mpa chamber pressure, at 90% thrust efficiency.

Asterex engine hot firing at 10 MPa chamber pressure (twice the record in class, <500 kg to LEO). Controlled thrust, start-stop-start exercise.

CAD and simulations of Asterex engine.

Laser welded in-house, Eiger propellant tanks are manufactured from very thin aluminum.

Gravel piles for natural blast shielding. Originally conceived for a DARPA challenge to design a rocket that can "launch anytime, from anywhere," Eiger uses storable propellants, unprepared launch settings, and mobile test stands.
