  • The Lockheed X-17 was a three stage solid-fuel research rocket to test the effects of high mach atmospheric re-entry that took off from Patrick AFB at one point reached the speed of Mach 14.5. * Launch date- 1958. * Length- 40 ft 4 in (12.3 m). * Diameter- 1st stage: 2 ft 7 in (0.79 m). * Wingspan- 7 ft 7 in (2.3 m). * Operational range- 135 miles (217 km). * Flight altitude- 250 mi (400 km). * Top Speed- Mach 14.5. * Rocket type- Atmospheric re-entry testing unit. * Manufacturer- Lockheed Corporation. * Nationality- American. Whist it was puny in comparison to other later rockets, both it and other related rockets like the Aerobee unguided suborbital sounding rocket, the Astrobee rocket and the Black Brant I rocket rocket were, non the less, a vital stage in researching early space data such as how high speeds and extreme g-forces would affect machinery.
