Will the DreamChaser wings have much clearance inside the fairing, I've seen this issue raised as a concern with the X-37B & the F9?

That would provide some insight into the current cost of an RL-10, since one more of these engines is the main difference between a 552 and a 551.I wouldn't expect it to be public. SNC is buying the launch, not NASA. Did O/ATK ever give a cost for their Atlas V purchases?yes, only to certain Investors and financial/capital analysts but was after IR conference calls so that the info was not in public recordings and transcripts.Interesting. This sounds like it would be the definition of illegal insider trading if the investors or analysts act on this knowledge.QuoteInsider trading is the buying or selling of a security by someone who has access to material nonpublic information about the security.The cost of the rocket is surely material to any analysis of profitability of that contract, and the contract is certainly very material to Orbital.
