Mission impossible? An impression shows the hypersonicplane’s intended route on the edge of space

VANDENBERG AIR FORCEBASE, California: Oops. Thehypersonic plane that’sso fast it could make theSydney-London flight legin less than an hour hasgone AWOL.

The Falcon HypersonicTechnology Vehicle 2 waslaunched successfully intospace from a US Air Forcebase in California but groundcrews lost contact withit about 36 minutes intothe flight.

Embarrassingly, it is thesecond Falcon the US milit-

ary has lost. An HTV-2 flownlast year returned about nineminutes of data before con-tact was lost.

About $320 million in UStaxpayer money went intothe two hypersonic aircraftdesigned and built by a de-fence research agency —which launched each exper-imental vehicle in separatetests then lost contact withthem as they barrelled intothe Pacific Ocean, FOXNewsreported yesterday.

The latest unmanned Fal-con Hypersonic Technology

Vehicle-2 — a test rocket de-signed to fly at Mach 20,about 21,000km/h — success-fully launched about 7.45amlocal time on Thursday andseparated properly from theMinotaur IV rocket that car-ried it to the edge of space.But after 2700 seconds offlight, the agency lost contactwith the vehicle, which pre-sumably sank in the bluewaters of the Pacific Ocean.

Air Force Major ChrisSchulz, Defence AdvancedResearch Projects Agency(DARPA) HTV-2 program

manager, said in a statementthe agency had learnt fromthe flight. But he also ac-knowledged that the missionwas shy of perfection.

‘‘It’s vexing; I’m confidentthere is a solution. We haveto find it,’’ he said.

The fate of the test onThursday is reminiscent ofthe April 2010 initial testflight, which also ended withthe military losing contactwith the vehicle after nineminutes.

That craft too went downin the Pacific.

Fishermen livingjust like slavesAUCKLAND: Indones-ian seafarers are beingbeaten, raped and forcedto eat rotten food inslum-like conditionsaboard Korean-ownedfishing boats, accordingto a New Zealand study.

New university re-search compiled frominterviews with dozensof fishermen has ex-posed disturbing levelsof inhumane treatmenton foreign fishingvessels operating inthe country’s exclusiveeconomic zone.

The conditions suf-fered by 2000 mainly In-donesian men on 27 ves-sels were judged‘‘appalling’’, with grue-some accounts of ex-treme physical violenceand verbal abuse.

Muslim workers werefrequently called dogs,monkeys and otherderogatory names.

A fisherman de-scribed his experienceas being ‘‘trapped intomodern slavery’’, whileanother said they lived‘‘like rats’’.
