DIU HYCAT
The Hypersonic and High-Cadence Airbourne Testing (HYCAT) program was established by the US Department of War's Defence Innovation Unit (DIU) to prototype low-cost, high-cadence, dual-use hypersonic aircraft. This mission will capture data that accelerates the production of future systems, with Hypersonix being awarded the first contract.
First flight for Australian hydrogen-fulled hypersonic aircraft
Hypersonix's DART AE will be deployed into a suborbital hypersonic flight environment, using Rocket Lab's HASTE rocket, where it will gather critical data across propulsion, aerothermal performance and vehicle control.
Cassowary Vex mission
Launching on “That’s Not A Knife” with Rocket Lab, a global leader in launch services and space systems, this first DART flight is scheduled to launch no earlier than late February from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 2 within the Virginia Spaceport Authority’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island, Virginia.
