The Next Generation: Masten Space

As the space shuttle fleet winds down, the next generation of space vehicles is under development, in part, by Masten Space Systems. The XA-0.1B-750 rocket vehicle takes off, translates off the pad, boosts, shuts of the engine, then it relights the engine and comes back down to the pad. This is the first time a VTVL rocket has relight the engine in flight, ever, in the history of the planet!
