Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET) announced support for the bipartisan Space Ready 2.0 Act (H.R. 9651 / S. 4905), which would authorize NASA to create a pilot program to partner with public and private entities to modernize shared infrastructure at NASA centers, including Kennedy Space Center.
According to Starfighters Space, the legislation would allow voluntary private contributions to eligible infrastructure projects without creating a new federal spending program. The company, a commercial operator at Kennedy Space Center, relies on shared roads, utilities, facilities, and other systems to support its supersonic flight operations, space research, payload testing, and future air-launch development.
Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET) announced the next development phase of its “Wind Tunnel in the Sky,” a reusable airborne test platform based on its Mach 2+ F‑104 supersonic fleet. The underwing system is being designed as a modular, reusable host for diverse payloads, including sensors, avionics, communications systems, electronic equipment, advanced materials and other test articles.
According to the company, a typical 45‑minute mission can provide up to a 10‑minute Mach 2+ test window, offering longer real‑atmosphere exposure than traditional wind tunnel runs that often last only seconds. The platform targets commercial, government, defense and research users for hypersonic and microgravity-related testing and builds on prior subsonic and supersonic work, including STARLAUNCH 1 demonstrator flights.
