X-43a Test Successful!
Posted: March 27th, 2004 | Author: Matt Croydon | Filed under: Web Services | Comments OffI watched the X-43a test flight on NASA TV. Everything seemed to go well. The X-43a was launched with a booster rocket from a B-52. The X-43a then seperated from the rocket, and a few seconds later they gave it fuel, and it seems to have functioned properly. After about 10 seconds, they cut fuel, and it’s currently coasting around Mach 5.
