Is there government involvement in the Lynx program?
Lynx is primarily a privately funded program, however, some of the technology used on the Lynx was developed under contracts with the U.S. Government. XCOR has developed propulsion, structures, and subsystem technology with assistance from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), NASA and USAF. The vehicle’s fuel and LOX pumps, for example, are commercialized versions of test hardware built under a DARPA contract. Recently, XCOR was awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract from the US Air Force to quantify and demonstrate the operability of Lynx. [back to top] Q34.
