\nNo tears, only launches now: Virgin Galactic heads back to space as Virgin Orbit goes under<\/br>
\n2023-05-24 21:35:28<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

In space, no one can hear you cry. That\u2019s probably why Virgin Galactic is headed up there so soon after the untimely demise of its sister company, Virgin Orbit \u2014 currently being salvaged for parts. After a nearly two year hiatus, the space tourism company is ready to fly again and plans to do so tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

Virgin Galactic\u2019s first flight was back in 2021<\/a>, carrying crew from the company and founder Richard Branson. While it was by most accounts a success, the FAA took issue with a deviation from the flight plan and grounded the company for a short while<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then the company has been working on updating its flight hardware and infrastructure to support its ambitious plan to eventually offer suborbital flights to the edge of space on a daily basis. As Mike Moses, now president of spaceline missions and safety, told me shortly after 2021\u2019s launch<\/a>, it\u2019s partly building and adapting the spacecraft themselves, but also streamlining their processes for inspections and so on.<\/p>\n

The schedule they were hoping for was definitely not what actually took place, and the company has been pouring money into the endeavor with basically no revenue since then, but as one of very few space tourism companies actually flying, the potential for income in the medium term is pretty significant. Their investors don\u2019t seem too spooked, outwardly at least.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s launch will carry Virgin Galactic employees Jamila Gilbert, Christopher Huie, Luke Mays, and Beth Moses, plus the two pilots, Mike Masucci and CJ Sturckow.<\/p>\n

As before, the \u201cmothership\u201d VMS Eve will take off traditionally and take the spacecraft VSS Unity to 50,000 feet, where the latter will detach and rocket to the edge of space before gliding to a landing back at the Spaceport in New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Takeoff is scheduled for 8 AM Mountain time, 7 AM Pacific. They aren\u2019t doing live video of the launch, but Virgin Galactic said they\u2019ll provide frequent updates and we will add any relevant new info to this post.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
