XCOR aims for small reusable Lynx suborbital craft
XCOR Aerospace, founded in 1999, develops rocket engines and spacecraft with the goal of a single stage suborbital Lynx. The Lynx is a compact reusable craft intended to fly in the upper atmosphere for private customers paying about 150000 dollars. Executives foresee revenue from carrying science experiments from Midland International Air and Space Port as a growing opportunity. COO Randy Baker says the plan is to build the smallest vehicle someone can pay to use for a mission.
