Stratolaunch

About

Stratolaunch designs, manufactures, and operates advanced aerospace vehicles and hypersonic technologies for national security applications. The company's work centers on air-launched systems and hypersonic flight testing, with a team of over 200 engineers and technicians based at Mojave Air & Space Port in California.

The company's flagship asset is Roc, the world's largest aircraft by wingspan, which serves as an airborne launch platform. From this carrier aircraft, Stratolaunch deploys its Talon family of reusable hypersonic vehicles. The Talon-A platform is designed to provide routine, cost-effective access to the hypersonic environment, functioning as what the company describes as a "wind tunnel in the sky" for flight testing at speeds exceeding Mach 5.

Stratolaunch's technical capabilities span aerospace vehicle design and manufacturing, reusable launch vehicle systems, and the broader domain of hypersonic flight testing - areas with direct relevance to defense and national security programs.
