Virgin Galactic SpaceShip Two Rockets Closer to Space
Virgin Galactic, the world's first commercial spaceline, has completed the first rocket powered flight of its space vehicle, SpaceShip Two. The test, conducted by teams from Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic, officially marks Virgin Galactic's entrance into the final phase of vehicle testing prior to commercial service. In the coming months, the Virgin Galactic and Scaled test teams will expand the spaceship's powered flight envelope culminating in a full space flight from Spaceport America in New Mexico, which the companies anticipate will take place before the end of 2013.
