XCOR Aerospace is in the business of developing safe, reliable and reusable rocket powered vehicles and other enabling technologies for private space flight, scientific missions, upper atmospheric research, and small satellite launch to low earth orbit.  This month’s talk will describe the highlights of XCOR’s past work, including pictures and videos from rocket engine development and flight test.  An overview of XCOR’s current project – the suborbital Lynx rocketplane – will also be included.

Mark Street has worked as an aerodynamic, structural, and fluid systems engineer at XCOR Aerospace since 2005.  He has contributed to the development and testing of four rocket engines and served as a flight test engineer for the Rocket Racer prototype.
