The American company only successfully tested a reuse of HyperSonic missiles
“Showing the reuse of fully recoverable experimental vehicles is an important turning point for Mach-TB,” said George Romford, director of the Experimental Resources Management Center. “The lessons learned from this experimental campaign will help us reduce the time of the car from months to weeks.”
KREVOR said Talon-A conducted numerous tests on each mission, but did not provide any details of the nature of cargo, citing specific reasons and customer agreements.
“We cannot disclose the nature of its loads, except for saying ordinary materials, instruments, sensors and so on,” he said. “Customers were excited about their ability to retrieve loads shortly after landing.”
Stratolaunch ended the first flight from a Talon-A vehicle last year, when the rocket was launched over the Pacific Ocean and fired at its liquid with its liquid produced by URSA Major-for about 200 seconds. The Talon-A1 vehicle accelerated only from the HPRP, then it fell to the sea and was not recovered.
This was the first Talon-A2 flight in December.
Military officials had earlier stated that they had set up the Mach-TB program to carry out repeated flight tests of HPressone weapon technologies, including communications, navigation, guidance, sensors and seekers. Stratolaunch is the purpose of the monthly flight of the Talon-A missile aircraft by the end of the year and ultimately wants to increase weekly flights.
“These flights are now increasing the stage for increased HyperSonic flight test cadres in the country,” Cruvur said. “The ability to have a fully reusable HyperSonic flight architecture enables too much flight to fly with great accountability. The Ministry of Defense can contact Stratolaunch if there is a priority program, and we can have a hypocrisy flight next week, assuming all technologies are ready and again.”
Pentagon officials in 2022 set the goal of increasing US capacity to test HPressone from 12 to 50 flight tests a year. KREVOR believes Stratolaunch will play an important role in doing so.

So, why is the Hypersonic flight test important?
The Pentagon seeks to close what is regarded as a technology gap with China, which US officials acknowledge that the world leader has become a hypersonic missile. Hypersonic weapons are more difficult than conventional missiles for air defense systems for identifying, tracking and removing. Unlike ballistic missiles, HPressone weapons mounted at the top of the atmosphere, increasing the maneuverability and ability to escape the interceptors.
Hypersonic flight is an unforgettable environment. The temperature outside the Talon-A vehicle could reach up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,100 degrees Celsius) because the aircraft plows through the air molecules, Crouvar said. He refused to disclose the duration, maximum speed and maximum height of the December and March test flights, but said the rocket was carried out on a journey from its drop -down to Vannberg, a series of “GG” maneuvers.
