Europe's Phoenix - Test Flight!
Posted on Sunday, 09 May 2024 @ 18:11:21 EDT by admin

Anonymous writes "
A German-designed unmanned space shuttle prototype will be launched in Sweden's far north after the initial test flight has been done, a project spokeswoman said.

The EADS Phoenix -- European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. -- a prototype of the future European Shuttle, will be carried to an altitude of 2,400 meters (7,900 feet) by a heavy-duty helicopter and then dropped so it can glide to earth for a landing.

The Phoenix, along with the Ariane 5, represents Europe's hope for sending astronauts into space in the coming years. The ship is just less than 7 meters long, weighs 1,200 kilograms and has a wingspan of 3.9 meters. It's one-sixth the size of the actual planned vehicle.

The test range has been the site of European Space Agency tests because of its remote location and its vast uninhabited areas. The area has two restricted air spaces, Esrange and Vidsel, each measuring approximately 5,000 square kilometers, available for the tests."
