With Hadley's successful first flight powering @Stratolaunch's Talon-A1 (TA-1) testbed, we are one step closer to flight of a hypersonic vehicle developed by a private company. Read more in our @arstechnica feature: brnw.ch/21wHUI3
This week we had the honor of joining @RICHARDCHAMPAN, Executive Director of the @KernedC on the @KGET spotlight 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. Grace Wang shared about Stratolaunch and the future of reusable hypersonic vehicles. buff.ly/43iPTM2
Take a look at our first powered flight with TalonA-1. Last Saturday’s flight marked a significant achievement for the advancement of the nation's first commercial reusable hypersonic test capability. We thank the Stratolaunch team and partners for their hard work and dedication.
March 9, 2024, marked the success of Stratolaunch's TalonA-1 first powered flight. This achievement was only possible due to the dedication, hard work, and commitment of our incredible team! Check out our website for more information about the flight: buff.ly/3Tco4QH

I sat down with @Stratolaunch CEO Zack Krevor today to hear about the successful first flight of their Talon-A test vehicle. This is a major milestone, and we had a productive discussion about how North Dakota’s robust ecosystem can play more of a role.
With Hadley's successful first flight powering @Stratolaunch's Talon-A1 (TA-1) testbed, we are one step closer to flight of a hypersonic vehicle developed by a private company. Read more in our @arstechnica feature: brnw.ch/21wHUI3

Pleased to join my colleagues of the Hypersonics Caucus to call on the Department of Defense to expand hypersonic testing both in infrastructure and capacity. We cannot afford to fall behind our adversaries in developing this technology.
The former Virgin Orbit 747 recently acquired by @Stratolaunch is off on its first flight in its new livery today. Track it at flightradar24.com/N744VG/331a0a1f and here’s a sneak peek at the livery.

I will continue to fight for the U.S. to rapidly develop, test, & field hypersonic capabilities. This is my top priority as we conference the NDAA and will continue to be my top priority until DOD has both defensive & offensive hypersonic capabilities. wsj.com/politics/natio…
The U.S. is far behind China and Russia on hypersonic weapons, which can evade air defense systems on.wsj.com/3LolQec
A healthy defense industrial base needs a robust ecosystem of agile, new innovators. We’re proud to enable launch, hypersonics, and tactical missions by providing the most critical technology: the propulsion system.
@Stratolaunch Thanks for the shout-out! Great video. #hypersonic #GNC
This is Hadley—made in the U.S.A., #3DPrinted, and the only rocket engine qualified for space launch and hypersonics.
I REALLY like how the DoD has moved to a commercial-based hypersonic flight test capability with partners like @RocketLab, @VardaSpace, & @Stratolaunch Commercial crew has worked so well for NASA, it's a no brainer to lean on industry to innovate & test FAST
I am committed to bringing more aerospace and defense jobs to CA-27. While many are fleeing California, aerospace businesses are continuing to invest in our district. We must protect these investments and incentivize this growth. It’s the backbone of our local economy.
heading west. @Stratolaunch Roc heads for the first time to the open Pacific on pre-separation test flight in R2508 complex air space - in company with L-39 and Cessna Citation chase aircraft. Tests will verify data systems and practice for Talon drop test in coming weeks.
