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. #hypersonic #firstflight #LetsRoc

Today Roc completed its 18th flight in the spirit of maintaining proficiency for our Mission Operations team members and continuing to improve operational cadence. The flight included a brief touchdown in which the team completed a crew change with engines running, and then returned to the skies to practice pattern work. Congratulations to pilots Adam Francki on his first flight in right seat and to Jonathan Bearce for his first flight in left seat! #LetsRoc

Stratolaunch extends its appreciation to Representatives Vince Fong and Kevin Mullin for their proposed amendment to the NASA Reauthorization Act of 2024, establishing the Making Advancements in Commercial Hypersonics (MACH) Program at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The MACH Program will improve research and development of hypersonic technologies by supporting high-speed flights, including local efforts occurring within Eastern Kern County. This week Congressman Fong met with our president and CEO, Dr. Zachary Krevor to discuss the amendment and critical test and evaluation work happening at Stratolaunch. “Working together with NASA and the Department of Defense is critical for both commercial and defense applications of hypersonic technologies. Stratolaunch is diligently committed to serving this important initiative,” Dr. Krevor said.
