HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The U.S. Navy is heading into a major test of a hypersonic weapon that will help determine the way ahead for a joint development program with the U.S. Army, according to the Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office director.
“The Navy is moving forward on their test, which isn’t a launch out of ground support equipment, but just off a stool launch, so we get another look at the missile,” Lt. Gen. Robert Rasch told Defense News in a March 27 interview here at the Association of the U.S. Army’s Global Force Symposium.
The test in the spring is focused solely on missile performance and is conducted using a test stand that eliminates ground support equipment, canister and launcher.
“It’s more of a command to the missile to ignite and watch the missile go through stage one, stage two, payload adapter, hypersonic glide body separating and do its thing,” Rasch said.
The test is to ensure the services understand the missile performs as intended, he said.
There are several of us, convinced by the math, that "no part" isn't going to work for RCS.

So the hot-gas thrusters have been:
- Added for Starship flip
- Removed for Starship flip (Raptors only)
- Re-added for Starship in-orbit ops (and possibly Lunar Starship)
- Added to Super Heavy
- Removed from Super Heavy
The page is up to date, Peskov is part of increment 73.
If a Roscosmos/NASA agreement is found, Peskov will simply fly on Dragon, otherwise he will fly on Soyuz.
