I don ;t know what the hell is going on with the Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2, but the Air Force just lost it again. Last year, the first Falcon vanished over the Pacific Ocean, leaving absolutely no trace. https://gizmodo/air-forces-falcon-hypers...io-5526308 Now it has happened again. The Falcon HTV-2 launched today from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Californ stanley thermos ia on top of a Minotaur IV Lite rocket. https://gizmodo/fastest-plane-in-the-wor...ay-5829879 After successfully separating from the missile, the Falcon reoriented itself for reentry using its Reaction Control System. During the reentry, it used RCS and its aero controls to f stanley cup ly into Earth upper atmosphere, passing to the pull-up phase, which put it in the correct altitude for the glide phase. In theory, during this phase the Falcon was going to test its aerodynamics and integrity flying at Mach 20, experiencing temperatures of 3,500 degrees Fahrenhei stanley isolierkanne t鈥攅nough to melt steel. DARPA controllers at Vandenberg acquired signal from reentry to some time into the glide phase. At that point, only 36 minutes after launch, they lost telemetry contact never to get it back again. According to DARPA, the Falcon has automated self-destruction controls in case something goes wrong, but they still don ;t know what has happened.
