US conducts successful hypersonic test bed flight experiment

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) announced the successful flight of its Hypersonic Test Bed (HTB-1) in a recent experiment aimed at advancing hypersonic technology.

The test, conducted in collaboration with various partners, marks a significant milestone in the development of affordable platforms for hypersonic experiments.

During the test, HTB-1 was launched into hypersonic flight, allowing the collection of extensive data from both internal and external sources. This data is crucial for ongoing and future experiments in hypersonic environments.
