On August 12, 1960, an X-15 flight was made to achieve essentially the maximum altitude expected to be possible with the interim rocket engines. N l y corrected altitude measurements showed that the maxhum geometric altitude was 136,500 feet k600 and the maximum pressure altitude, referred to the tables of the 0. S . Extension to the ICAO Standard Atmosphere, was indicated to be 133,900 feet.
