Since 2006, Armadillo Aerospace has made an annual late-October trek west from its Dallas-area base of operations to New Mexico to compete in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, run by the X Prize Foundation with prize money provided by NASA’s Centennial Challenges program. For the first two years Armadillo was the only team to field a vehicle in the actual competition (many other teams had signed up, but could not get their vehicles ready in time to fly at the event), and last year Armadillo was the odds-on favorite to win at least Level 1, the less rigorous of the two levels of the competition. In fact, several months before the 2007 competition, Armadillo flew a complete Level 1 profile at the Oklahoma Spaceport, demonstrating that it had a vehicle technically capable of winning the prize.
