Talon-A2's radar altimeter system was successfully tested in preparation for its upcoming flight later this year. The test consisted of suspending TA-2 from a crane to calibrate the RALT system, a radar altimeter attached beneath Talon to measure altitude from the ground, with the landing gear extended and retracted at heights over 60 feet. Talon's radar altimeter provides information allowing the vehicle to land autonomously and provide engineers with additional data to evaluate its reliability and accuracy during flight operations. #stratolaunch #hypersonic
