Worth noticing
Xodiac has flown since 2015; the page describes Xombie’s 227 VTVL flights as a world record.

Field notes

Xogdor is described as under development, with a 6,000-lbf turbopump-fed liquid-oxygen/liquid-methane engine and intended supersonic capability. The page credits Xoie with winning the NASA-funded Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge in 2009, demonstrating reusability and a descent-relevant change in velocity. Masten is identified as Astrobotic’s Propulsion & Test department; the page provides a payload inquiry route but no pricing or booking details.
