Virgin Galactic Launches

Virgin Galactic is an American spaceflight company, founded by Richard Branson. The company develops commercial spacecraft and aims to provide suborbital spaceflights to space tourists. Branson originally hoped to see a maiden flight by the end of 2009, but the date was delayed for several years. The company did early work on the satellite launch development of LauncherOne before transferring to another company, Virgin Orbit, in 2017.
