UPDATE: Masten completed safing and storing its Xoie lander in the time allotted. So, the team has now qualified to win the $1 million prize for Level 2. We are awaiting word on landing accuracy to see if Masten has leaped ahead of Armadillo Aerospace for first prize. Unreasonable Rocket is set to make its attempts today and tomorrow.

Masten Space Systems has completed a return leg of its attempt to win the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge. Judges are now measuring the landing accuracy on the return flight. As soon as they finish, Masten will have six minutes to safe the Xoie vehicle and load it onto a truck. This is the last step in the process, which requires teams to make two flights within 2 hours and 15 minutes.
