TA-1 First Flight
First steps are hard. They require careful planning, calculated risk, and most of all, courage. We took a daring first step earlier this month with the completion of TA-1’s first powered flight, reaching high supersonic speeds approaching Mach 5. The flight was a landmark moment on our path to providing our customers and nation a reusable and routine hypersonic test capability. Congratulations to the Stratolaunch team and our partners on this achievement! Stay tuned on our progress as we prepare to fly our first fully reusable Talon-A vehicle, TA-2, later this year.

Stratolaunch Completes Talon-A Separation Test
zhlédnutí 65KPřed rokem
On May 13, 2023 the Stratolaunch team successfully completed its eleventh flight of Roc and first separation of the Talon-A vehicle, TA-0. The test was important for ensuring that Talon-A vehicles will cleanly and safely separate from Roc prior to powered flight. With this milestone complete, the company will progress to its first hypersonic flight of the TA-1 vehicle.

First Engine Hot Fire Test
zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed rokem
Bringing a hypersonic test service to our customers is exactly what the U.S. needs to enable critical technology capabilities, leading to an ability to leap-ahead of our peer competitors. We’re doing just that using Ursa Major’s Hadley rocket engine, which will propel the Talon-A hypersonic testbed to Mach 5 and beyond. Check out the first hot fire of the Talon-A integrated propulsion system at...
Pylon Release System Mass Simulated Drop Test
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed rokem
Mic drop! This month we put our pylon release system to the test by releasing an asset simulating properties of the Talon-A vehicle. This ground test serves as an additional proof point for how the release system will work in flight and ensure that the Talon-A vehicle will cleanly and safely separate from Roc during a mission.
Hypersonic Research: A National Imperative

Advancing hypersonic technology is imperative to the United States defense strategy. Former Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force, Dr. Mark Lewis and Stratolaunch Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Daniel Millman share their thoughts on the history, current affairs, and future of hypersonics. Dr. Millman also discusses how the Stratolaunch Talon-A, a reusable autonomous test vehicle, will be used to...
Stratolaunch Talon-A Flight Concept
zhlédnutí 36KPřed rokem
Stratolaunch is a technology accelerator that engineers operationally realistic testing at Mach 5 . Our air-launched, Talon testbeds are reusable, cost-effective platforms that enable routine access to the hypersonic environment. This animation demonstrates how the Roc and Talon vehicles will work as one to be a flight test asset for our nation.
Talon-A Vehicle Mated with Roc Carrier Aircraft for First Time
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
Welcome to a new chapter in hypersonic flight test. We recently mated our first test vehicle, TA-0, to Roc for the first time. TA-0 will be used to test and validate Roc's release system and characterize separation dynamics. The team will conduct functional and integration testing on the vehicles in the coming months, culminating in a captive carry and safe separation testing later this year.

    Great test! This double aeroplane is very beautiful, it is can be use as truck for space. Maybe better produce double rocket aeroplane platform for space low orbit and double ion or plasma engine aeroplane platform? Last type possible make as constructor on orbit by sending halfs from earth by jet platform , it will possible. Will possible to start new industry - on low orbit by building new stations for produce new goods on new very high quality and even interplanetary spaceships.

    The existence of stratolaunch is kind of an enigma to me. They tried to launch orbital rockets from the Roc but failed/pivoted and now they launch a tiny hypersonic platform from a way oversized vehicle? Also if not the government, who is funding this research? I dont think I have ever heard of a company so focused on research with no deliverable products that does not have any government funding... not meaning to hate on them but I am just confused
