	The craft chosen for the mission was a rocket-propelled spaceplane with no operational ceiling (it was certified a spacecraft, though it lacked the engines required for true space flight) and a ~~maxmimum~~ atmospheric speed of MACH 12. The mission profile, however, had the aircraft covering six thousand miles of the [[High Mountains]], running west to east from the [[Sword Coast]], then turning where the High Mountains reach an unexplored and unnamed range. This flight plan went 1000 miles further than the mapped portions of the High Mountains, with the added space required for the craft to decelerate from MACH 6.

	The profile called for the aircraft to cut all engines and decelerate for 1000 miles, or until it had dropped below the speed of sound. The ship was then to execute a low-speed turn before making ~~it's~~ return trip. The initial profile called for the main flight to occur at 140,000ft altitude, dropping down to 80,000, during the deceleration stage.
