		<description><![CDATA[Since last summer, even while we focused on Xombie flights for JPL and expanding Xaero&#8217;s flight envelope, we were working. Designing, tweaking, and starting to build the next iteration of Xaero that we affectionately (and creatively) call Xaero-B. We&#8217;re finally ready to pull the curtain back and share her with you! Xaero-B is intended to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re about to embark on a historic year for Masten Space Systems. Team members will be part of test flight firsts, the design and construction of some of the most advanced suborbital test vehicles ever built, and fulfillment of some unique contracts that will further establish Masten as the world leader in VTVL technology. We&#8217;re excited today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we encountered a sub system failure in flight that necessitated turning the rocket off while still in the air. Landing at that point winds up considerably rearranging the rocket into rocket parts. Since then we’ve heard from a lot of folks offering support, encouragement, and concern. Thank you. Please know that the team [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Masten Space Systems conducted a flight test of Xaero to 1 km altitude with the intention of testing flight controls at higher ascent and descent velocities. Our test objectives were met and initial results show the vehicle performed better than expected at altitude. However, the vehicle was lost during final approach to landing, and [...]]]></description>

We just finished the third leg of a flight campaign on Xombie that expands the boundaries of what we believe to be the nation’s leading terrestrial landing testbed. We are working hard to deliver a way to test systems at [...]]]></description>

In addition to multiple client projects and bending metal in the shop on yet-to-be-unveiled rocket hardware, we&#8217;ve been spending a significant amount of time on Xaero, culminating in a flight to 444 meters AGL [...]]]></description>

On Friday, we fired Masten Space Systems&#8217; newest engine prototype, the Katana class KA5S at our test site in Mojave, CA. In this video, you&#8217;ll see a 2 second mid-throttle run on a new engine test trailer designed to test engines significantly larger than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve received a number of inquiries about precision landing and why it’s important to us &#8211; shouldn&#8217;t we be focusing on high altitude suborbital vehicles? The short version is that it addresses a major market need and provides near-term customers for us as we develop our long-term launch capability. That said, it also is an [...]]]></description>
