“…Hypersonic vehicles traveling in the upper atmosphere at speeds greater than Mach 10 (7,000 mph at 33 km altitude) generate plasma that disrupt or prevent communications over conventional radio-frequency channels. This phenomenon manifests itself most famously as the well-known communications "blackout" period during space vehicle reentry into the atmosphere [1][2][3], and has been studied (off and on) since the Gemini and Apollo space programs. For sustained hypersonic flight in the atmosphere, the communications blackout will persist for almost the entire Might.…”
