The duration of the first captive flight was 2 hours, 5 minutes. The Enterprise/SCA combination reached a maximum speed of 287 miles per hour (462 kilometers per hour) and altitude of 16,000 feet (4,877 meters). NASA describes the photograph above: The Space Shuttle prototype Enterprise ri...
The advent of long-duration satellite,Skylab, and space shuttle-based,Spacelab, observations has allowed not only more detailed measurements, but also studies of the time variations of the solar UV output and its correlations with other indications of solar activity, such as sunspots and structure...
The aeroplane was used for research for imaging of marine andterrestrial ecosystemsand for transmitting radio and TV signal as an “atmospheric satellite.” Eventually, Helios was destroyed in a crash in 2003. Longest flight duration achieved was over 17h. ...

"Flight 3 Starship completed a full-duration static fire with all six of its Raptor engines," SpaceX said this afternoon in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), which also featured video of the test. Related: SpaceX's 2nd Starship launch looks amazing in stunning photos and videos ...
No one really knows how long the bat held on for, but some creative-thinkers hypothesized that the bat remained attached for the duration, making it into space. I don’t think I have to explain why this didn’t happen — it was more likely booted from the fuel tank in the first secon...
Flight duration controversy While engineers were resolving the technical challenges of the joint mission, military and space officials got engaged into an already familiar and mostly pointless argument over the mission duration. The controversy would last for most of 1962. Korolev and Keldysh were insis...
Change of doses per flight, depending on the route and the duration of flight. The upper chart: flight “Frankfurt–New York” (polar route), Δ = 28 μSv (56%). The lower chart: flight “Frankfurt–Johannesburg” (transequatorial), Δ = 3 μSv (12%). Both flights are compatible ...
But all of the engines appeared to function as intended this time around, burning together throughout the entire duration of Super Heavy’s flight, which lasted about two and a half minutes, or until it ran out of most of its fuel. Super Heavy then exploded as SpaceX tested out a new...
“In 2025, SpaceX plans to undertake a long-duration flight test and a propellant transfer flight test,” according to a recent report from NASA’s Office of the Inspector General, or OIG. Demonstrating the ability to launch a Starship into orbit and then rendezvous the spacecraft with a...
