X-43A flight this Saturday. (27th)

Splashh!! Yeah, I'm about 1 minute behind.

Hahah yeah, I had that exact same problem. I had a friend watching it and he was 1 minute ahead

No point having an SR-71 chase it. That Pegasus hit Mach 1 almost as soon as it lit its booster. Haha, now somebody's radio on the B-52 is acting up - "I can take of my mask and yell at him..."

Maybe it was and it's classified. I doubt it, but this is a conspiracy board.

Im mad now i took a bunch of screen shots and thanks to real player going black when you take a screen shot and windows was late i only have one perfect screen shot for you guys . here it is

Hey, I remember Dangermouse! It was awesome. Nah, why bothersecretly monitoring a NASA mission that's got telemetry coming out of its ears and not a Martian city, Face or fossil in sight. Would be more fun if there was something conspiracy-y about it, though...

Could it have been possible to put a cam on the Pegasus booster and watch the X-43 separate from it or would that have disrupted the aerodynamics?

I put up an ATSNN news story:

PARALYZ: No real point - just more wires, cables, radio freqs etc. Plus the camera has to stand up to Mach 5 airflow. They did mount cameras on a lot of the early rockets, showing stage separation, but I think that was mainly to see if they had a clean separation, nothing that would interfere with the flight later on.

Well, I'm going to hit the sack. That was fun. Cheers, guys.

Sorry King and everyone else, here it is click the link

I saw on TV news that this plane beat the speed record with a speed of more than mach 8 for a few seconds.

Congrats !

and I heard on the news that it reached "only" mach7 with about 7700 km/h
Now I read somewhere on ATS that there was some data lost or something like that and I would like to know what the real spead was......some help please

Would have been tracked on radar, so they'd have a pretty good idea on speed. I think the data started beiing lost after the scramjet shut down.
