Virgin Galactic Launches Crewed Galactic 07 Mission

Virgin Galactic is using its SpaceShipTwo to launch the final commercial flight of VSS Unity. This is the 17th flight of the VSS Unity, before the company plans to upgrade the vehicle.

The commercial crew on this mission is composed of a researcher affiliated with Axiom Space, two private Americans, and a private Italian. The Virgin Galactic crew on Unity will be Commander Nicola Pecile and pilot Jameel Janjua.

The ‘Galactic 07’ autonomous rack-mounted research payloads will include a Purdue University experiment designed to study propellant slosh in fuel tanks of maneuvering spacecraft, as well as a UC Berkeley payload testing a new type of 3D printing.

Expected Takeoff: 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time

After watching starship, Starliner falcon nine lodges find this so boring. The moderators mention so cool so often. What is so cool at least they could’ve had cameras on both the carrier plane and the space graph.

[larryhack]

At what altitude does the solid rocket motor cut out and then how much further does it go in altitude in its ballistic trajectory?

[SJMcCool]

Hiya, can you tell me why it takes so long for the carrier aircraft to ascend before drop off?

[Spoonyspoon]

What a shambles from Virgin Galactic not having live feeds showin the flight and inside the craft
