Starfighters Space partners with Blackstar Orbital to flight-test reusable hypersonic SpaceDrone

Starfighters Space entered strategic partnership with Blackstar Orbital to advance flight testing of Blackstar reusable hypersonic “SpaceDrone” using Starfighters F-104 aircraft.
Program under Technical Interchange Agreement targets supersonic captive-carry flights in Q4 FY26.
Testing plan culminates in high-altitude, supersonic release in Eastern Range off Florida Atlantic Coast to model post-reentry trajectory for Blackstar microshuttle platform.
Starfighters supplied BL75 pylon to integrate SpaceDrone with F-104 for captive-carry validation, followed by over-ocean release tests.
Companies expect collaboration to expand into broader flight-services engagement as testing progresses.
