NASA GRC Award Notice: CEV Propulsion Advanced Development 7500 LBF (Vacuum) Main Engine (KT Engineering Corp.)

"Contract Award Amount: $5851425.00"

NASA GRC Award Notice: CEV Propulsion Advanced Development 7500 LBF (Vacuum) Main Engine (GASL Inc.)

"Contract Award Amount: $1035717300"

Editor's note: Hmmm. This is odd: $5 Million ($5851425.00) for one contract and a billion ($1035717300) for the other - both of which seem to be virtually the same - or is one of those pesky little decimal points (important in rocket science) missing?
