Description:
Masten Space Systems provides affordable and reliable access to space by using reusable VTVK spacecraft flown on suborbital trajectories. Costs are kept low by focusing on high flight rates, operational efficiency, and low maintenance flight hardware. The company will start with small payloads on suborbital trajectories and end up with orbital and lunar lander capabilities. The company's lunar lander test bed will be competing in the 2006 XPRIZE Cup for NASA Lunar Lander Challenge.
