Ares I-X Flight Test Overview
Ares I-X is a Constellation Program developmental flight test for the Ares I project• There are five primary flight test objectives – P1 through P5• Ares I-X is an un-crewed suborbital test
Flight Test Profile
P2) Perform in-flightseparation/staging~130,000 feet
P5) Characterize integratedvehicle roll torque
~150,000 feet
P4) Demonstrate first stage entry dynamics and post staging sequencing of events (e.g. employ booster tumble motors and deploy parachutes)
First Stage recovery
P1) Demonstrate controllability
P3) Demonstrate assemblyand recovery of an Ares I similar first stage
