John Batchelor and I welcomed back Doug Messier of Parabolic Arc (www.parabolicarc.com) who has been reporting on the suspension of the Lynx spacecraft and XCOR personnel layoffs related to the Lynx. During our discussion, Doug said that XCOR had laid off just under half their employees. Most of those who were dismissed were working on the Lynx. He said money was an issue plus the new XCOR corporate leaderships felt it needed to make changes in the company. He said there was not enough money to pursue both the Lynx and the engine competition for ULA upper stage Centaur rocket motor. Doug was asked if Lynx ticket holders would be getting refunds but he did not know the answer to that question. He also said they were competing with Blue Origin and Aerojet Rocketdyne regarding the ULA engine in question. When asked why XCOR fell behind on Lynx production, he indicated that there were wing and other problems plus financial issues. He suggested too that it was challenging to build a spaceplane that would fly like a jet and go to Mach 3. Other XCOR and Lynx comments were offered during our Hotel Mars segment for this week.
You can email Mr. Batchelor or Doug Messier through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com. In addition, Doug can be reached through his website, www.parabolicarc.com.

John Batchelor and I welcomed Gary Oleson to the program to discuss the growth of the small satellite industry plus the industry's contribution to the economic growth underway in the space economy. Mr. Oleson has written an excellent article on this subject which I encourage you to read. Check out his May 16, 2016 article in The Space Review, "Effects of changing economics on space architecture and engineering." You can read or download the article at www.thespacereview.com/article/2986/1. Gary will also be a guest on The Space Show Monday, June 6 regarding this article and more. During our Hotel Mars segment, we discussed the small satellite industry, the data and imaging demand by a full array of commercial customers, and the development of dedicated small sat launchers that when operational will enable small satellites, including cubesats, to be launched to their specific designated orbit rather going up on a ride share to a less than ideal orbit. We talked about investment dollars flowing into this industry and the fact that students have commercial as well as learning opportunities by developing a small satellite. Our guest also mentioned that small satellite constellations can do things that bigger satellites can't do such as image all of earth at one time. Another topic discussed in our short segment dealt with the commercial space momentum for industry growth and that the U.S. being way out in front in commercial space leadership.
