Summary: Conclusion
System level optimization (staging point adjustment) in conjunction with judicious use of advanced technology (HAN, SHARP, CFBI, K3B) triples payload performance over the K1 while increasing GLOM by only 78%.
Delivered proof-of-concept for the economical and technical value of the K2X design through incorporating the majority of requirements set forth by Kistler.
Presentation to the judging panel is set for mid October.
