A fledgling aerospace company in Romania, spawned by the $10 million X Prize competition for private spaceflight, says it has won a government contract in its home country and also has forged a partnership with a Canadian-American rocket venture.

Friday's announcements serve to raise the profile of the Aeronautics and Cosmonautics Romanian Association, or ARCA, which successfully fired off a demonstrator rocket more than a year ago but fell far short of winning the X Prize.

ARCA's new partner is PlanetSpace, which is developing the Canadian Arrow suborbital rocket with support from Indian-American backer Chirinjeev Kathuria.
