Stratolaunch

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

We are celebrating a big milestone as our Roc launch platform completed its 20th successful flight! This flight was focused on crew proficiency to keep our test team mission-ready as we prepare for Talon-A2’s upcoming flight. Today’s operation included a mid-flight landing and crew swap, which successfully certified additional Roc flight crew members. We now have two fully certified crews allowing us to increase our test cadence as we fly into 2025. #LetsRoc #20Flights

Today we honor the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces to protect our nation's freedoms. Happy Veterans Day from the team at Stratolaunch!?

Meet Jacob Brown the Chief Engineer for the Talon-A program! “Talon-A is a hypersonic rocket plane that allows customers to fly their payload experiments in Mach 5+ flight conditions, collect their data, and receive their payloads back meeting both commercial and military test needs. As Chief Engineer for the Talon-A program, I am responsible for leading the engineering teams through the design, build, and test of the Talon-A vehicles. Working on this program with Stratolaunch has been an incredible experience and something I am grateful to be a part of.”

Happy Halloween from the Stratolaunch team! ??

Meet Sebastian Johanson, one of Stratolaunch’s Lead Manufacturing Engineers for the Talon-A vehicle. He is responsible for ensuring Talon-A is built according to its design specifications, enabling the vehicle to achieve optimal flight performance.
