Forgive the abbreviated nature of today's post!

  • You may have seen one of [1] the articles up today [2] about team ARCA's upcoming spaceflight, also featured in a Featured Article [3] on the Google Lunar X PRIZE front page [4] a while back. Some of those articles play a bit loose with their wording, so just to clarify: this is not a prize winning attempt. It is, certainly, a very important milestone, but it's not an attempt to win the PRIZE. I'm hoping that ARCA will blog more about this flight soon.
  • In other Google Lunar X PRIZE news, Preferred Partner SpaceX [5] has delayed their upcoming Falcon 1 flight [6] until late July or early August. I hope you'll all join me in wishing the whole SpaceX team luck!
  • There are some interesting developments going on among the Lunar Lander Challenge teams: Masten's work on their vehicle [7] is progressing nicely, as shown in some photos; and Unreasonable Rocket's permit application [8] was rules "complete enough" (which used to be known as "sufficiently complete") by the FAA. Kudos to both groups for their continued good work! Also, via Hobby Space [9] (in turn via Dick Stafford [10]), I see there are some cool photos of Armadillo's work on the Rocket Racers [11] available online for curious viewers.
  • If our Twitter streams just aren't enough for you, you can now find us on Pownce [12], too.
