HYPER-X (X-43A) FLIGHT TEST RANGE OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Hyper-X program flew X-43A research vehicles to hypersonic speeds over the Pacific Ocean
in March and November 2004 from the Western Aeronautical Test Range, NASA Dryden Flight
Research Center, Edwards, California. The program required multiple telemetry ground stations
to provide continuous coverage of the captive carry, launch, boost, experiment, and descent
phases of these missions. An overview is provided of vehicle telemetry and distributed assets that
supported telemetry acquisition, best-source selection, radar tracking, video tracking, flight
termination systems, and voice communications. Real-time data display and processing are
discussed, and postflight analysis and comparison of data acquired are presented.
