We’re still not sure how many teams, if any, will be competing in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge at the Wirefly X Prize Cup at the end of this week, but at least we know who will be judging the competition (if, in fact, it occurs.) The X Prize Foundation announced the six judges for the competition late Tuesday:
- Ed Bock, a retired Lockheed Martin employee who spent most of his 39-year career working on the Atlas program;
- Richard Dunne, a Northrop Grumman consultant;
- Bill Gaubatz, DC-X manager;
- John Herrington, former NASA astronaut and Rocketplane Kistler vice president;
- Pete Worden, NASA Ames director; and
- Jeff Zweber, an engineer at the Air Force Research Lab’s Space Vehicles Directorate
