The maximum speed of 145-pound missile launched from a launch pad in the desert Black Rock (Nevada) is equal to 3516 km / h.
It is not clear whether the project will be able to Derek take part in competition Carmack - under the terms necessary to fix the location of a GPS missile at an altitude above 30,000 feet, but unfortunately none of the 4 of GPS-receivers, which were installed on board did not load cleanly .
