Australian startup Hypersonix has successfully launched a rocket from Virginia in the US, celebrating a successful test with a 'textbook takeoff'.

Rocket Lab Corporation successfully launched its latest hypersonic test mission, "That’s Not A Knife," on February 27, 2026, for the Department of War's Defense Innovation Unit.

This mission, conducted from the Virginia Spaceport, marked the second successful hypersonic test in three months and the seventh overall using the HASTE rocket, which is designed for rapid and reliable hypersonic system testing. The mission deployed the DART AE scramjet-powered aircraft, contributing to advancements in hypersonic technology for the U.S. and its allies. Rocket Lab's 100% mission success rate with HASTE underscores its role in enhancing national security through innovative testing platforms.

Executives from both Rocket Lab and Hypersonix expressed pride in the successful collaboration and the critical progression toward operational hypersonic capabilities. This launch also highlights Rocket Lab's expertise in providing launch services for a wide range of governmental and commercial missions.
