Design and development [ edit ]
A hot-fire test of the X-60A air-launched rocket at Cecil Spaceport , January 14, 2020.
The first two segments of the GOLauncher 1 Inert Test Article (GO1-ITA) underwent a series of structural ground tests at Mercer University 's Engineering Research Center (MERC) in December 2013.[1]
In July 2014, GO was awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory , Aerospace Systems Directorate (AFRL/RQ) for development of GOLauncher 1. The nine-month effort, worth $150,000, focused on requirements definition, configuration trade studies, and trajectory design.[2] [3] [4] [5] X-60A was assigned to the GO1 vehicle.[6]
Applications of the X-60A include access to high altitudes for microgravity , astrophysics , hypersonics testing and research of avionics. On July 20, 2014, GO flew its first captive carry test platform using a Learjet 35 .[7] [8]
