2. As far as it having rendezvous sensors - other than a deployable
solar
panel, we don't have a clue about what else is in the small cargo bay.



1. Boeing marketing pitch

2. RCS is not set up for rendezvous

Boeing marketing pitch from way back before this was ever a NASA
project, and it was a DARPA/Air Force military space program.
This is the flip side of the Shuttle program, where NASA was told they
could only develop the Shuttle if they could get the Air Force
interested in it, and the Air Force didn't really want it.
In this case, the Air Force was told that they couldn't develop the
thing unless they could get NASA interested in it, and it was NASA who
didn't really want it. :-D
