From Wikipedia “ Sprint accelerated at 100 g, reaching a speed of Mach 10 in 5 seconds. Such a high velocity at relatively low altitudes created skin temperatures up to 6,200 °F (3,430 °C), requiring an ablative shield to dissipate the heat. The high temperature caused a plasma to form around the missile, requiring extremely powerful radio signals to reach it for guidance. The missile glowed bright white as it flew.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(missile)?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(missile)?wprov=sfti1
