Interorbital Systems is part of Team SYNERGY MOON, which at last count has over 50 active members. Randa mentions that their last rocket tests were in 2004. Prior to that they developed a design for rocket engines that is well documented with references on their website, and they developed a production methodology based on well documented ideas to reduce costs. Since 2004, they have not gone out of business, they kept their company running, doing some of the same work that keeps other rocket and astronautics companies alive day by day, while the looked for the right funding and project to bring their designs and developments to life. The Google Lunar X PRIZE has provided the vehicle they needed, and working with funding thru Team SYNERGY MOON, and funding from their own inventive efforts (TubeSats and TubeSat launches) they are now back to work building the holy grail of space exploration, Cheap Access To Space. They have dreams, they have consistantly worked to realize those dreams, and now working with Team SYNERGY MOON those dreams are becoming reality. Answers to the 'hard questions' will be available on the team websites and on the IOS website over the coming months. Mojave California is the nexus of development is the NewSpace industry, IOS has always been there, and is once again joining in the fun of building rockets. We're in a race, and thanks to IOS, Team SYNERGY MOON and many TubeSat owners will be in orbit next year, and on the moon in two years. Keep Watching. C U Soon, On The Moon!
