October 7, arrr, 2009 - Masten Space Systems flew our XA0.1B-750 rocket vehicle in t' Northrop-Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, matey, level one. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Both Flights were successful meetin' t' required flight profiles and time conditions. Aye aye! Blimey! We are now in a position t' claim t' second prize award o' $150, 000. First prize was awarded in 2008 t' Armadillo Aerospace. Two other teams are scheduled t' compete in t' competition window that ends on October 31, 2009. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Level one requires a rocket vehicle t' take off from one pad, fly t' a minimum altitude o' 50 meters, move t' a second pad a least 50 meters away and be in t' air for a minimum o' 90 seconds. T' rocket may then be refueled before is repeats t' flight back t' t' original startin' point. T' accuracy o' t' landin' determines t' winner in t' case where more than one team flies t' required profile. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' average landin' accuracy for "Xombie" was 16cm (unofficial pendin' judging). This video be t' first o' t' two competition flights from t' downward facin' camera located onboard t' rocket.
