If you'd read a little further, what I wanted >to know was *how high* is the LEO they are talking about. I know. The point is that is an irrleant question. DC cuts the cost of access to ANY orbit by an order of magnitude. Who cares how you get there. However, DC-Y should deliver 20,000 to a 200KM orbit and 16,000 to a 400 KM orbit. It also delivers 10,000 to a 400KM polar orbit. Allen -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Allen W.
