Lockheed have joined SNC to help with the certification as an exclusive partner and will use LM facilities, including MAF.
That's the big announcement.

Heh, Lee Jay gets the first question
Flight tests will last 30-40 seconds (drop and land on the runway). Then aero data on next tests. (Two to five flights).
Then on the Flight Test Vehicle - piloted.

LockMart definitely knows what the heck they're doing. Very good choice.
Dreamchaser's stock went up in my book.
