Management
 
DRAZEN E. PREMATE - President/ CEO/Founder of International Space Systems, Inc. – Drazen was born in Pula, Croatia exactly 100 years after the birth of a great countryman and inventor Nikola Tesla. Drazen even followed the footsteps of Nikola Tesla by coming to the United States with nothing more than a suitcase and a pocket full of dreams.
Drazen first completed high school at Fairview High in Erie, Pennsylvania. He then decided to pursue science and space education in the United States. Drazen completed a Bachelor degree in Physics from the University of Central Florida (Orlando, FL) in 1978 and a Masters degree in Space Technology from private Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) in Melbourne, FL in 1980 (first European with such a degree). Drazen also has over 30 years of experience of being an entrepreneur (Since 1982).
In 1980 Drazen was the founder of non-profit Inter Space Society operating under FIT umbrella. The objective of this Society was to promote and foster student space experiments via use of low cost programs such as Get Away Special (GAS). ISS assisted numerous groups and GAS projects that later flew on the Space Shuttle. It published INFOSPACE monthly newsletter.
In 1982 Drazen formed a private space company in the U.S. called International Space Corporation (ISC). Under ISC Drazen negotiated a Joint Endeavor Agreement with NASA for seven free Shuttle flights (worth over $25 million) to test a state-of-the-art ISC furnace ( Normal Freezing Furnace - NFF) to grow expensive and much higher quality electronic crystals in zero gravity of space. The NFF was at the time years ahead of then existing NASA furnace technology and it was then, as it is still today (2010), the largest space furnace ever built in the world to grow complex crystals and materials in zero gravity of space!!
Drazen also found 58 private investors and a total of $1.5 million in private capital to finance ISC. Ground operating NFF furnace and half of space qualified one nearly 8 ft long was designed and built when the Challenger accident in 1986 and NASA's decision in 1988 to pull out of the Shuttle all of commercial payloads ended the ISC venture. Drazen realized then that for as long as transportation to space was in the hands of the government only, the chances of commercialization of space were slim. He waited to come back to Space field once Private Space was possible and Drazen decided that 2010 was the right year to do that with NASA winding down Space Shuttle and cancelling Constellation Moon program and Aries rocket.
Between 2000 and 2010 Drazen undertook the business challenge of connecting the new Eastern Europe or New Europe with United Stated via three different companies Drazen formed during that time period - NEWEUROPE Concepts, Inc. American Business Center (Croatian Company) and NEWEUROPE™ Corporation “Do you want something European?”™ slogan is the synonym of Drazen’s efforts to introduce the best of New Europe has to offer in the United States such as NEWEUROPE™ Cafes, NEWEUROPE™ Chocolate Stores, NEWEUROPE™ Music, Media & Entertainment, NEWEUROPE Web sites, NEWEUROPE Club Social Club.
Drazen is also the Founder of CTP Energy Corporation (CTPEC) involved in research of the exact science of non-physical C-energy that Drazen discovered and his countryman Nikola Tesla predicted would be discovered one day. Also understanding and application of the CTP Energy Science could one day lead to our ability to control and manipulate gravity and communicate instantly via so called C-Domain regardless of distance involved and thus space travel could change dramatically (no rocket or other propulsion technology needed), communication with anyone would be instant or faster than sped of light and space could become accessible to everyone. Several proposed ISS Private Space Projects will use discoveries made under CTPEC under an exclusive space license application to ISS.
Drazen’s dream of Private Space and “Space for Everyone”™ will now become reality via International Space Systems (ISS). Drazen plans to involve millions of average people via Private Space Club (PSC) and Private Space Mission Passes (PSMPs) via Internet that will fund such exciting private space missions. “Average citizens of the United States and the World are ready for Private Space. They believe in it. They want it. They want to participate in it. They are ready to invest in it. We at ISS will give it to them,” says Drazen.
