SpaceDev conducted the first test of a prototype lunar lander last week. The test of the combined liquid/solid fuel engine was successful.
SpaceDev, which helped develop the engines for Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne, is pursuing the lunar lander for the International Lunar Observatory Association, a group which wants to land a station near the south pole of the Moon to conduct astrophysical and communication research.
