Strategic Command to the ORS Office to support U.S. ORS-1 was initiated as a result of a requirement from the Commander, U.S. "Our team was able to develop, integrate, test and launch this system in just over 30 months which is a remarkable achievement," said Colonel Welsch. Rapidly developing and fielding ORS-1 is an important step to demonstrating the possibilities to meet emerging and persistent warfighter needs in operationally relevant timelines. Their teamwork and dedication is simply inspiring." "The men and women of the Space Development and Test Directorate, the Operationally Responsive Space Office, and our industry partners of Goodrich, ATK, and Orbital have all worked tirelessly to move forward on the concept of a responsive space capability designed to support the warfighter. Carol Welsch, SMC/SD Acting Director and ORS-1 Mission Director. "Words cannot express how proud I am of the entire ORS-1 team," said Col. ORS-1 is the Operationally Responsive Space Office's first operational prototype satellite and represents the potential of low-cost, tactically focused satellites designed to provide critical battlespace awareness capabilities to the joint warfighter. This marks a great achievement by the Space and Missile Systems Center's Space Development and Test Directorate, the Operationally Responsive Space Office and their contractor teams. EDT yesterday from Pad 0B at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Va. Air Force successfully launched the first Operationally Responsive Space prototype satellite aboard a Minotaur I launch vehicle at 11:09 p.m. The latest G700 speed records are pending approval by the US National Aeronautic Association and Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in Switzerland for recognition as world records.The U.S. In total, the G700 flight test aircraft have established more than 40 speed records around the world. Others at an average speed of Mach 0.90 include Tokyo to Seoul in 1 hour, 53 minutes Seoul to Manila in 3 hours, 23 minutes Manila to Singapore in 2 hours, 53 minutes and Bangkok to Amalty in 6 hours, 42 minutes. Building on the 25 records the aircraft achieved during its 2022 world tour, the G700 headed into EBACE 2023 in Geneva setting a city-pair speed record from Mumbai in 8 hours and 34 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.90.Īdditional new speed records include Savannah to Tokyo in 13 hours at an average speed of Mach 0.89 on sustainable aviation fuel. The G700 programme extended its world speed record accomplishments as one of the fully outfitted test aircraft made customer visits throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India. “At the same time, even more customers around the globe are seeing the real-world performance features and benefits the aircraft provides in terms of efficiency, speed and safety, while experiencing the immense comfort of the cabin first-hand.” “The G700 continues to exceed our expectations throughout all facets of the flight test programme,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. In addition, in flyover noise testing, the G700 has proven sound levels well below FAA regulations. The aircraft also finished water ingestion testing at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia, with touchdown and taxi manoeuvres in standing water at take-off and landing speeds ranging from 60-120kts. Gulfstream said the G700 demonstrated excellent stability and control in take-off, landing and climbing during field performance and flying qualities trials during two months of testing at Cecil Airport in Jacksonville, Florida.
