11 test flight was the second for the HTV-2.

'If this information proves true upon further analysis, weвЂ™ll have a better understanding of overall system capability and flight dynamics - how far it can fly with more accuracy,' Dugan said. For example, initial assessments seem to indicate that pre-flight models predicted quite accurately when during the flight the HTV-2 would experience its highest drag and heat loads, officials said. Scientists are still working through all of the information gathered.Д«ut they've already made some interesting preliminary discoveries. More than 20 air, land, sea and space data collection systems tracked the HTV-2 during the test flight, officials said. 'What the Minotaur IV did was make a three-point shot from the California coastline into a basket between California and Hawaii,' said Air Force Maj. This is not an easy task, according to officials. Further, premilinary analysis indicates that the rocket delivered the HTV-2 to its preprogrammed release point at the right speed and orientation. 11 demo flight, the HTV-2 appeared to separate cleanly from its Minotaur IV launch vehicle, officials announced today. It then comes zipping back to Earth at enormous speeds, at times heating up to temperatures of nearly 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,927 degrees Celsius).Дuring its Aug. The HTV-2 is part of an advanced weapons program called Conventional Prompt Global Strike, which is working to develop systems to reach an enemy target anywhere in the world within one hour.
