Pyramid Space Inc, based in Carlsbad, CA, is a pioneering aerospace company specializing in the development of hypersonic research vehicles. Their RANGER system consists of three vehicles, all capable of reaching speeds of mach 7 and soaring up to an impressive altitude of 650,000 feet. With a range of missions and payloads, these vehicles are meticulously designed for optimal performance in terms of speed, range, and altitude.
Among the RANGER vehicles, the XS-2 Flash Ranger serves as an unmanned hypersonic research vehicle, acting as a cost-effective pathfinder for its larger counterparts. The XS-5 Light Ranger, on the other hand, is a single-seat hypersonic research vehicle that operates with a concept of operations similar to that of an F-15. Lastly, the XS-15 Ranger, a two-seat hypersonic research vehicle, boasts a primary mission of carrying a 10,000 lb. payload to either mach 7 at 120,000 ft. altitude or to an impressive 600,000 ft. altitude apogee, with the capability of placing a 1,000 lb. satellite into space station orbit.
