I’ve uploaded to Flickr a photoset of images from Saturday’s X Prize Cup events. It’s a mix of airshow photos, Lunar Lander Challenge images, and the unveiling of Orbital Outfitters’ commercial spacesuit (more on that in the near future.)

Thanks for the reports, video and first pictures. Too bad for Armadillo. They came so close… I suppose Pixel didn’t even do any demo flight then?

There are only two windows each day to perform Lunar Lander Challenge flights: 8-10 am and 12:45-2:45 pm MDT. Thus, there was no opportunity to fly Pixel yesterday (and even if there was, I suspect the team would have focused on prize-qualifying flights versus demonstration flights.) This setup does make one wonder how the competition would have worked if multiple teams had vehicles ready to fly this year…
