Virgin Galactic to test for space flight in November

Private space travel company Virgin Galactic has announced that it will conduct a test flight of SpaceShipTwo with VSS Unity from November 19 to 23. This time, it is a test flight to reach space altitude by igniting the first rocket that takes place after moving to the New Mexico space station Spaceport America.

In the report of the 3rd quarter of 2020, Virgin Galactic said that the test flight will be loaded with revenue-generating cargo as part of a flight business program that promotes space exploration observation and expansion of space commerce using private companies for NASA mission In addition, it has been said that a planetary scientist will aboard and conduct experiments in outer space.

Virgin Galactic, which is expected to successfully complete the test flight and conduct a flight with Richard Brandon, has resumed sales of tickets for the space travel program in the first quarter of 2021. If you pay a down payment of $1,000, the application for the One Small Step campaign to overcome the boarding queue and secure priority seats will end within 2020. There are already 900 people in the boarding queue.

The next test flight is also the first rocket-propelled flight from Spaceport America. So far, it has conducted two test flights at the space station, and even before headquartered in Spaceport America, it has conducted two test flights to reach space altitude. As it cannot provide full-fledged space flights to customers yet, the deficit is growing in terms of performance, but revenue generation is in progress due to the deployment of NASA payload and business alliances, and it is expected to solidify the foothold smoothly.
