Our Xodiac rocket soared around our Mojave test range as high as 500 m and as far as 300 m downrange, though it was capable of up to 1 km in either direction. It also consistently landed within 3 cm of its targeted landing site, about the width of a half-dollar coin.

Xodiac faithfully served the team since 2015, accomplishing 175 successful test flights over its ten-year service life. 🚀This Xodiac was the fifth generation in our line of XA-class Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing (VTVL) vehicles.
