Ballistic is the agreed containment model. Glide and tumble are engineering estimates.

L/D 2.42 and 112 m/s are calibrated to the Flight 2 telemetry: 598 m, 126.5 m/s at deployment, ~1.45 km in under 14 s. Tumble terminal velocity 40 m/s follows from a broadside tumbling airframe. Neither figure appears in the containment report — both need engineering sign-off.

Operator response

10s

Time from the vehicle crossing the FTS activation line to the operator pressing the button. The vehicle holds its cruise throughout. Termination is treated as immediate on the press, so this is decision and reaction time, not a delay in the system.
