- So much financial data being flung about here of late, could someone take
- a time out to tell me hardware/flight details of the DCX? I did not
- realize a test prototype was so far along that a flight is planned this
- summer, I'd only heard of the general concept for the basic vehicle.
-
- What is the size (height, diameter) and mass of this first test prototype?
- Thrust?
- Flight profile of the prototype - low altitude hop, suborbital, orbital?
- Re-entry/landing - heatshield, parachutes, powered descent al-la-LM?
- Launching and landing site(s)?
