DARPA HTV-2 flight caught on video


Posted: Aug 26, 2011 by vr_don


DARPA's August 11, 2011, second flight of the HTV-2 hypersonic glider - which ended prematurely after only 9min of a planned 30min flight across the Pacific - was captured on handheld video camera by a crewmember of one of the ships tracking the vehicle's telemetry as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere at 20 times the speed of sound. DARPA does not yet know while the flight ended prematurely. The first HTV-2 flight, on April 22, 2010, also ended after just 9 min.

Puts things into perspective a little bit. just 20 years ago these sort of speeds were only thought of in the realms of sci fi. S what will we be able to achieve in another century or so. This universe is getting smaller.

Yeah, and they've been working on this for years. Imagine what's on the drawing boards today...
