The X-34 program is developing a reusable launch vehicle that will be capable of reaching Mach 8 and 250,000 feet. Orbital Sciences Corporation of Dulles, Virginia, has the responsibility for design and performance verification of the system as prime contractor for the X-34 program. AFT Arrow was evaluated, selected and purchased for analyzing the reaction control system performance, and its analysis results confirmed the system is properly configured to meet mission objectives.
