First Engine Hot Fire Test

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 our Mojave rocket test facility.

Pylon Release System Mass Simulated Drop Test

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 accelerate our nation's hypersonic flight test tempo, similar to the X-15 of the postwar era.
