NASA Wallops Supports Hypersonic Rocket Launches<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility supported the launch of two suborbital sounding rockets on Nov. 15, 2023, for Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP), and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), in coordination with Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense\u2019s Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH TB). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This subscale test<\/a> was executed by Sandia National Laboratories. Data collected from this test will be used to inform the development of the Navy\u2019s Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS), MDA\u2019s hypersonic defensive capability, and to mature other hypersonic technologies.<\/p>\n
