On October 28th, 2009, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched the Ares I-X Flight Test Vehicle (FTV) from pad 39B, providing the first set of flight test data for NASA's Ares I vehicle design team. This test was critical in providing insight into areas were significant design challenges existed. This paper discusses the objectives of the mission and how they were satisfied. It discusses the overall results of the flight test and look at the data retrieved from the flight. Ares I-X was highly instrumented with over 700 channels of Developmental Flight Instrumentation (DFI). Significant insight was gained in the areas of thrust oscillation, vibro-acoustics, predicting jet interactions and slag ejection from solid rocket systems with submerged nozzles. The paper outlines results from the Guidance Navigation & Control (GN&C), Thermal, Vibro-acoustic, Structures, Aero, Aero-Acoustic and Trajectory teams.
