Regulus 1 Test Demonstrates Sea Launched Missile Power
Regulus 1, the Navy surface to surface missile, conducted a public flight from Edwards Air Force Base. A 17 foot airship-like craft blasted skyward, leaving a two mile smoke trail before reaching over 50,000 feet and speeds near 1200 mph. A jet control plane steered it on a 28 minute, 300 mile course ending with a dry lake bed landing 15 miles from launch. Navy officials called the flight a success, noting Regulus II would sustain sea based attack capability and naval superiority over Russia.
