US Military Awards New Contracts for XS-1 Space Plane
Space.com: Three companies have gotten more money to continue developing their concepts for the United States military's XS-1 robotic space plane.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Boeing and Northrop Grumman $6.5 million each for work under "Phase 1B" of the XS-1 space plane program. The third company, Masten Space Systems, presumably got a similar amount.
