The Ansari X Prize was a space competition in which the X Prize Foundation offered a US$10,000,000 (equivalent to $21,000,000 in 2025) prize for the first non-government organization to launch a reusable crewed spacecraft into space twice within two weeks. It was modeled after early 20th-century aviation prizes, and aimed to spur development of low-cost spaceflight.
