Not long ago, Virgin Galactic, which signed an international space station space travel brokerage agreement with NASA, conducted its second SpaceShipTwo test flight at Spaceport America, New Exico. .
Again, the Spaceship Two was launched from 15,000m in the air, and the speed reached Mach 0.85. The pilot not only piloted, but also checked various test items. The collected data is then analyzed by the engineer and used for the next test flight. Also, in the next step, it is expected to conduct a rocket propulsion test. In 2018, several rocket propulsion tests were conducted, reaching an altitude of 82 km in outer space.
Virgin Galactic said its goal this year is to ensure spacecraft and operational readiness for the provision of long-term and regular commercial space travel services, and that the service is approaching. More than 600 people around the world have already booked space travel that Virgin Galactic is planning to provide in the future using the aircraft. Spaceship2 is designed to accommodate 2 pilots and 6 passengers.When traveling in space, it is launched from the sky, and then the altitude rises to space at once through rocket propulsion. After 10 minutes of experience, return to the ground. The entire journey lasts 90 minutes. Related information can be found here .
