-Founded in 1999, '''XCOR Aerospace''' is a California company which specializes in the design and production of high reliability and low cost rocket engines.
+Founded in 1999, '''XCOR Aerospace''' was a California company which specialized in the design and production of high reliability and low cost rocket engines.
-Recently, their collaboration with [[NASA]] and [[Alliant Techsystems|ATK]] to develop [[methane]]-oxygen engines has been particularly successful, resulting in the successful construction and test-firing of their XR5M15 engine designed for spacecraft main propulsion.

-The '''XR5M15''' is one of XCOR's most recent engine designs and their most powerful design to date, with a rated thrust of 7500 lbf (33.4 kN).
+The '''XR5M15''' was one of XCOR's most powerful engine designs, with a rated thrust of 7500 lbf (33.4 kN).
-The engine is being developed as a partnership between XCOR and ATK for NASA as part of the [[Vision for Space Exploration]].  It is intended to provide propulsion for return flights from the Moon and Mars, as well as for in-space maneuvering.  The design builds upon their smaller XR3M9 LOX/methane engine, and reuses elements from many of their other designs.

-As it is fueled by [[methane]] and LOX, it has a great deal of potential use for proposed Mars missions due to the possibility of producing methane on the Martian surface from locally available materials.
