GENIE and Xombie on Pad
Masten Space Systems’ Xombie rocket with Draper Laboratory’s Guidance Embedded Navigator Integration Environment (GENIE) flight control system rests on its launch pad at the Mojave Air and Space Port prior to a demonstration flight in February 2012. Draper Laboratory developed the GENIE flight control system under NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program to enable future demonstrations of landing technologies needed for exploration of planets and moons, as well as near-Earth objects, like asteroids.February 2, 2012
