任务简介

火箭实验室高超声速加速器亚轨道测试电子（HASTE）计划下的亚轨道发射。本次任务由MDA主导，部署了由约翰·霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室（JHUAPL）开发的政府提供的主载荷，以及联邦和行业合作伙伴提供的多个次级载荷，测试了导弹防御应用的关键技术。该任务通过国防创新单元（DIU）的高超声速和高节奏空中测试能力（HyCAT）计划承包给火箭实验室，该计划通过低成本、响应迅速且长航时的飞行测试，支持新型高超声速技术的测试与评估。

Sub-orbital launch under Rocket Lab’s Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron (HASTE) program. This mission was lead by MDA and deployed a government-provided primary payload developed by the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), and multiple secondary payloads by federal and industry partners, which tested key technologies for missile defense applications. The mission was contracted to Rocket Lab through the DIU’s Hypersonic and High-Cadence Airborne Testing Capabilities (HyCAT) program, an initiative supporting test and evaluation of new and emerging hypersonic technologies through low cost, responsive and long endurance flight testing.
