futureTEKnow Company Profile

Virgin Galactic is an aerospace company developing reusable suborbital spaceplanes for commercial human spaceflight, astronaut experiences, and microgravity research. Its air-launch system uses a carrier aircraft to transport a rocket-powered spaceship to altitude before releasing it for a suborbital flight. The company previously operated VSS Unity and is developing its next-generation Delta-class spacecraft, including Spaceship Apeiron, for higher-frequency operations. Its technology combines reusable spacecraft structures, rocket propulsion, flight control systems, and a feathering reentry mechanism to support passenger and research missions.
