TA-2 First Recoverable Hypersonic Flight
TA-2 First Recoverable Hypersonic Flight
History has been made by Stratolaunch, a hypersonic flight test research company headquartered in Mojave, California. The fully autonomous Talon-A2, equipped with landing gear, has successfully exceeded speeds of Mach five and completed its second autonomous landing at Vandenburg Space Force Base. This mission documentary follows the first recovered flight of TA-2, the result of five years of effort and dedication marking a pivotal moment in sustainable hypersonic flight test for our country. Congratulations to the Stratolaunch team and partners on this success!

Preparing for TA-2 First Flight
Preparing for TA-2 First Flight
Talon-A2 is Stratolaunch’s first recoverable autonomous hypersonic testbed designed to repeatedly air launch, fly a hypersonic trajectory, and land on a standard runway. It represents a new era of low-risk, affordable, and routine access to the hypersonic environment. Take a look inside Stratolaunch’s preparation for various aspects of this historic flight, including expanding capabilities of the air launch platform and world’s largest flight aircraft Roc, and verifying Talon-A2’s various subsystems and landing hardware.

First Powered Flight of TA-1
First Powered Flight of TA-1
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
Stratolaunch Completes Talon-A Separation Test
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.
