                   SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

                        FALCON LAUNCH SERVICES AGREEMENT

     This Launch Services Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of November
15,  2005  ("Effective  Date")  by  and  between  Space Exploration Technologies
Corporation, a Delaware corporation with headquarters at 1310 East Grand Avenue,
El  Segundo,  CA 90245 ("SpaceX") and SpaceDev, Inc., with headquarters at 13855
Stowe  Drive,  Poway  California,  92064  ("Customer").  SpaceX and Customer may
hereinafter  be  referred  to  individually  as  "Party"  and  collectively   as
"Parties."

     WHEREAS,  Customer  desires  to purchase launch services for its spacecraft
and  its  customers'  spacecraft  with  the  parameters set forth in Appendix 1,
Statement  of  Work  ("Payload")  into  Earth  orbit;  and

     WHEREAS,  SpaceX provides launch services using the Falcon 1 Launch Vehicle
("Falcon");

     NOW  THEREFORE,  the  Parties  hereby  agree  as  follows:

1.     Services  to  be  Provided.  SpaceX  shall furnish launch services on the
Falcon  in  accordance  with  Appendix  1,  Statement  of  Work,  ("Basic Launch
Services"),  subject  to  the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Additional
services  may  be  provided  by  SpaceX on a time and material basis, subject to
negotiations,  mutual agreement of the Parties, and a separate statement of work
("Additional  Services").

2.     Contract  Price.

The  Contract  Price  is  the  sum  of:

     -  Basic  Launch  Services  at  [***  ***]  dollars  ($[***  ***]);

     -  Federal  range  usage  (RTS & VAFB) and payload integration fees at [***
     ***]  dollars  ($[***  ***]);  and

     -  Third  party liability insurance fees are [*** ***] dollars ($[*** ***])
     per  mission  thereafter.

Purchase  with pricing set forth in this section 2 is guaranteed to Customer for
up to two additional missions (at the option of Customer); however, a [*** ***]%
annual  increase  in  the  overall  Contract  Price  will be added to adjust for
inflation,  starting  on  Jan  1,  2008.

3.     Date  of  Launch.  The  expected launch date for contractual and planning
purposes  is  May 15, 2008 ("Estimated Launch Date"). By mutual agreement of the
Parties, the Estimated Launch Date may be adjusted up to 18 months in advance of
the  Estimated  Launch  date.  It  is mutually understood that the date when the
launch  actually  occurs ("Actual Launch Date") is dependent upon weather, range
availability,  government  approvals,  Falcon  readiness,  Payload readiness and
similar  factors.

***]%)  per  day  of  delay.

     4.3  Invoice  Address.  SpaceX  shall  invoice  Customer  at  the following
address:

                             SpaceDev, Incorporated

6.     Best  Price  Assurance.  SpaceX  intends that the Customer never pay more
than  the  standard price for Basic Launch Services at the time of the Estimated
Launch Date. If SpaceX reduces the single flight, standard price of Basic Launch
Services  prior  to  the Estimated Launch Date, the Customer will be entitled to
reduce  their  next  payment  to  SpaceX  accordingly  by the difference. If all
payments  for  launch  have been made or the reduction in price exceeds payments
due  from  the Customer, SpaceX will wire the appropriate rebate to the Customer
no  later  than  thirty  (30)  days  in  advance  of  the  Actual  Launch  Date.

7.     Reflight  Launch  Option.

     7.1 The Reflight Launch Option will entitle Customer to a [*** ***] for the
Basic Launch Services, paying only the [*** ***]. The Reflight Launch Option may
be  [***  ***]  the  Basic  Launch  Services  price up to [*** ***] prior to the
Estimated  Launch  Date and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.  SpaceX  shall  make [*** ***] efforts to execute the reflight launch
within  [*** ***] months following the Actual Launch Date. The SpaceX obligation
to  execute  a  reflight launch will extend no more than [*** ***] following the
Actual  Launch  Date.  This option is [*** ***] only to [*** ***] and [*** ***].

     7.2 Qualifying Condition. The Parties agree that the Reflight Launch Option
is  exercisable  only  in the event of a Launch Failure due to the Falcon launch
vehicle. Such a Launch Failure must constitute either delivery of the Payload to
an  orbit  where  it  cannot  reasonably  be  used  for  the  intended  mission,
destruction  of the Payload as a result of Falcon breakup, or substantial damage
to  the  Payload due to launch loads that materially exceed those defined in the
Interface  Control  Document.

     7.3 Sole Remedy. The reflight launch shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
available  to  customer  for  any  launch failure or payload failure whatsoever,
including  any  inability  to  use  the  payload for all or part of its intended
mission,  howsoever  caused, and regardless of the theory of liability (with the
exception  of  gross  negligence),  whether based in contract or tort, including
negligence,  product  liability,  and  strict  liability, or any other theory of
liability,  provided,  however,  that  this  remedy shall be available only when
customer has purchased a reflight launch option and customer has made all of the
payments  and  reasonably  complied  with  all  of  the other conditions of this
agreement

8.     Third  Party  Liability.

     8.1     Insurance.  SpaceX  shall  procure  and maintain third party launch
liability  insurance  as  prescribed  by  the  Federal Aviation Administration's
Associate  Administrator  for  Commercial  Space  Transportation pursuant to the
Commercial  Space Launch Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. Sec.Sec. 70101-70121. SpaceX
shall name as additional insureds Customer and its Payload customer, contractors
and  subcontractors  involved  in  launch  services, the U.S. government and its
contractors  and  subcontractors  involved  in  launch  services,  and  SpaceX's
contractors  and subcontractors involved in launch services. Such insurance will
comply  with  the  terms  of  the  Federal  launch  license.
