HSTDV tested at 11 AM, 07 Sept 2020 from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Launch Complex at Wheeler Island, off the coast of Odisha.
The vehicle ws launched using a proven solid rocket motor, which took it to an alt of 30 km,
where the aero heat shields were separated at hypersonic Mach nO.

The cruise vehicle separated from the launch vehicle and the air intake opened as planned.
The hypersonic combustion sustained and the cruise vehicle continued on its desired flight path at a velocity of MACH 6 i.e. nearly 2 km/s for more than 20s.

The critical events like fuel injection and auto ignition of scramjet demonstrated technological maturity. The scramjet engine performed in a textbook manner. The parameters of launch and cruise vehicles, including scramjet engine was monitored by multiple tracking radars, EO
The critical events like fuel injection and auto ignition of scramjet demonstrated technological maturity. The scramjet engine performed in a textbook manner. The parameters of launch and cruise vehicles, including scramjet engine was monitored by multiple tracking radars, EO
+systems and Telemetry Stations. The scramjet engine worked at high dynamic pressure and at very high temperature. a Ship was also deployed in the BoB to monitor the performance during the cruise phase of the hypersonic vehicle. All the performance parameters have indicated a
+resounding success of the mission. Wth this TEST, many critical techs sch as aero config fr Hypersonic manoeuvers, use of scramjet for ignition n sustained combustion at hyper flow, thermo-structural characterization of high-temP materials, separation mechanism at hyper velocity
