Mission 28B: AurigaLITE DemoFlight-1
ASE is targeting October 26th at 5:30 PM Pacific Time for the first launch of AurigaLITE and the RRTV payload. AurigaLITE is a new, suborbital launch vehicle ASE developed to provide hypersonic and suborbital flights for civilian and governmental customers. This mission will not only provide valuable information on the flight of AurigaLITE, but will also serve as a testbed for the upcoming AurigaMAX Block 2 Mission 27B/29. Following liftoff, the RRTV will separate from the booster but will not attempt a parachute assisted splashdown at sea.
