NASA says their new Ares I-X rocket launched at 11:30 a.m. EDT 28 October 2009 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a two-minute test flight. The mission lasted about six minutes. Lift off occurred at newly-modified Launch Complex 39B
with splash down of the rocket's booster some 150 miles down
range.
According to NASA the 327-foot tall Ares I-X test vehicle produced 2.6 million pounds of
thrust which accelerated the rocket to nearly 3 g's and Mach 4.76, just
shy of hypersonic speed. It capped its easterly flight at a
sub-orbital altitude of 150,000 feet after the separation of its
first stage, a four-segment solid rocket booster.
