NASA recently completed flight testing a state-of-the-art instrument designed to capture high-quality measurements of shock waves created by supersonic aircraft in flight. It’s called the Shock Sensing Probe. The probe’s performance was tested in flight at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, using an innovative technique originated by NASA’s predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
