ABL is another small rocket builder which has distinguished itself by receiving hundreds of millions of dollars of private investment to build their RS-1 launch vehicle. However they're still relatively low profile, having never launched a rocket and not sharing huge details on their design and testing schedule.

In the last week they suffered an accident while testing their second Stage at Mojave Space Port, which presumably has pushed out their first launch while they figure out what the problem was and how to deal with it.

They have a nice website, but are still somewhere tight lipped about their progress towards their first test launch:

The flying rocket animations were created with Simple Rockets II
