An un-tethered flight test by AA (2011-06-21)

An un-tethered flight test by Armadillo Aerospace and NASA was successfully completed reaching a height of 180 feet. The altitude isnt the important part, though. Federal Aviation Administration regulations controlled the altitude, but the flight experience gained including all phases of the check-out, ground loading, flight, and recovery operations is identical regardless of altitude.
