NASA has announced the winners of the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) demonstration program, a competition aimed at stimulating commercial space transport services that it can use to help build the ISS. The two winners, SpaceX and RocketPlane Kistler, will receive $278million and $207million respectively to develop their reusable rockets and ‘ballistic capsules’ before the demonstration deadline of 2010.
