The X-43A is tentatively scheduled to fly March 27.

The program's industry team will also be available to respond to questions. The news briefing will be carried live on NASA Television, and reporters at participating NASA centers will be able to ask questions. NASA TV is available on AMC-9, transponder 9C, C- Band, located at 85 degrees west longitude. The frequency is 3880.0 MHz. Polarization is vertical, and audio is monaural at 6.80 MHz.

Designed to fly from seven to 10 times the speed of sound, using air-breathing scramjet engines instead of traditional rocket power, the X-43A could represent a major leap forward in the goal of providing faster, more reliable and less expensive access to space.
