Contracts have been awarded, Dec 2011[edit]

As of this morning, 6 Dec 2011, USAF has issued contracts to Boeing, Andrews Space, and Lockheed Martin for the RBS tasks. Here's a link: Andrews Space & Boeing also [in addition to Lockheed Martin] win Reusable Booster System demo contracts. There should be a lot of mainline aerospace press coverage in a few days.

And here's the AvWeek article on the contract awards U.S. Air Force Plans Reusable Space Booster, Aviation Week, 9 Dec 2011. Cheers. N2e (talk) 05:09, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could add detail from the NRC 2012 report[edit]

The NRC 2012 report has lots of good detail in its 115 pages. It describes the phasing (subscale Pathfinder, larger RB-demo, RBS-Y prototype), and the various technology risk areas (eg the rocket engine development, the automatic flyback control system, the rocketback maneuver). Has specs for the Pathfinder and RBD phases and discusses the business case. Figure 4.7 shows that possible commercial expendible (eg SpaceX) costs could undercut the costs of EELV and destroy the USAF business case. - Rod57 (talk) 23:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
