Any equipment on board or was it just a test to see if they could get a vehicle into orbit? I take it it stays up there?

It was just a test to see if they could get it in orbit. NASA actually will be giving them more funding now I believe. Pretty much a bunch of private companies are racing to the finish line of replacing a lot of NASA's projects including flying people to the ISS. The theory is the private sector can do it better because of competition. The winner will get not only gov't contracts but funding as well. Go to spacex.com and read about it; it's a pretty cool company.
