Armadillo Aerospace Wins Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge 2008

It was recently announced that Armadillo Aerospace won the level 1, $350,000.00 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge

The competition has two levels to it.  In the level one challenge, the lunar lander rocket is supposed to lift off and achieve a height of 150 feet, hover for 90 seconds, then land on a specific target.  Level 2 is similar except that it is required to hover for twice as long as level 2.
