SpaceDev's hybrid rocket motor technology successfully propelled
SpaceShipOne on its third, and record-breaking, manned flight on
May 13, 2004. SpaceShipOne accelerated to record setting altitudes
and speed, both higher than in previous powered flights, thus
bringing the Scaled Composites team a step closer to winning the
$10 million Ansari X-Prize.
