	SpaceShipOne flight 16P - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flight 16P of SpaceShipOne was a spaceflight in the Tier One program that took place on September 29, 2004.
		Due to problems encountered during flight 15P on June 21, 2004, Scaled Composites did not immediately set a date for their competitive flights, suspecting that another test flight might be required.
		Scaled Composites scheduled the second competitive flight, flight 17P, for October 4, 2004, the 47th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1, and it was completed successfully on schedule.

		This flight was a full-altitude test, but not itself a competitive flight, for the Ansari X Prize, the prize for the first non-governmental reusable manned spacecraft.
		However, the flight was not intended as an X Prize competitive flight, and was not registered as such.
		Flight 15P was intended to be the final test flight before making the two X Prize flights later in 2004.

		SpaceShipOne is the leading contender for the Ansari X Prize, the prize for the first non-governmental reusable manned spacecraft.
		Its next flight, which may win the X Prize, is scheduled for October 4 2004, the 47th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1.
		The first powered flight, flight 11P, was made on December 17 2003, the 100th anniversary of the first ever powered flight by the Wright Brothers.

		It was the second competitive flight in the Ansari X Prize competition to demonstrate a non-governmental reusable manned spacecraft, and is hence also referred to as the X2 flight.
		The date of the flight, October 4 2004, was the 47th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth.
		SpaceShipOne's first powered flight was, in a similar vein, on the 100th anniversary of the first ever powered flight by the Wright Brothers.

	SpaceShipOne flight 16P
		Flight 16P of SpaceShipOne is a spaceflight anticipated to take place on September 29 2004, which if successful will be the first competitive flight in the Ansari X Prize competition.
		It is expected to be the fifth powered flight of the Tier One program and the second privately-funded human spaceflight.
		X Prize rules require that that date and place of competitive flights be notified to the X PRIZE Foundation at least 60 days before the flight.

		SpaceShipOne was only intended to win the X Prize, and will likely go into one of the space museums.
		If the actual flight differs in category from the intended flight, two letters are appended: the first indicating the intended mission and the second the mission actually performed.
		Unfortunately, SpaceShipOne launches to the east of the spaceport early in the morning, which means that it is in the same part of the sky as the sun for viewers at the spaceport.

	SpaceShipOne / White Knight flight log
		On 16P, because Mike did such a great job of turning the corner early in the burn, the later segments of the burn had to be at near zero lift to point the trajectory in the desired direction.
		The feather entry was not explored and the rest of the glide flight used to assess the handling qualities of the vehicle leading to an uneventful landing.
		The entire flight, from launch to landing, was viewable from the ground and SpaceShipOne with its unique planform was intriguing to watch as it cut gracefully through the air and was put through its paces.
