An international hypersonic flight planned to test scramjet fuel combustion at eight times the speed of sound will reach two major milestones next month. To fly in October 2010 the hypersonic payload's critical design review and its two-stage launch vehicle's preliminary review will take place this October. The launch vehicle's critical review is in January. In October 2010 the payload will be accelerated to Mach 5.5 by its two-stage launch vehicle and at 60,000ft (18,300m) the payload's shroud will drop away to enable air to enter an inlet that leads to the combustor.
