Lift-off of the STORT flight experiment
In the early morning of 26 June 2022, the three-stage rocket lifted off from the Andøya Space launch site in northern Norway. The upper stage reached a flight speed of approximately 9000 kilometres per hour at the apogee of its trajectory – at an altitude of 38 kilometres. This corresponds to a Mach number in excess of eight.
