So much financial data being flung about here of late, could someone take 
a time out to tell me hardware/flight details of the DCX? I did not 
realize a test prototype was so far along that a flight is planned this 
summer, I'd only heard of the general concept for the basic vehicle.

What is the size (height, diameter) and mass of this first test prototype?
Thrust?
Flight profile of the prototype - low altitude hop, suborbital, orbital?
Re-entry/landing - heatshield, parachutes, powered descent al-la-LM?
Launching and landing site(s)?
