@rocketrepreneur @spacecom We have what will be our largest lander design to date currently under construction at MSFC. We are encouraged about what we are doing next.

@spacecom @rocketrepreneur Actually no. A smaller clean sheet point design. We are working with NASA on a bigger PR piece about it. We are also ramping up XEUS though

Maybe this?

Also, I believe that Masten has spoken with ULA about dropping the kerlox? modules on the Xeus and helping them with their integrated vehicle fluids approach (IVF). If on the ACES-DTAL then that would be larger than Xeus. I think that Masten discussed this on his last Space Show appearance…although I can’t seem to locate that now.

For DAPRA Masten is working on XS-1. For NASA Masten Space has talked about XL-1, a lander that uses the new self-igniting bipropellant MXP-351. This may be uncloaking.
