May 1 Virgin Galactic announced that it plans to conduct its seventh commercial space flight on June 8— suborbital launch Galactic 07.
This will be Virgin Galactic's second spaceflight this year, following the Galactic mission on January 06 and 12th overall.
Virgin Galactic uses an air launch system consisting of two vehicles: a carrier aircraft called VMS Eve and a suborbital spaceliner, VSS Unity.
«Eva» takes off from the runway with Unity under its wings, and then drops the spacecraft at an altitude of about 13,700 meters. Then «Unity» starts the onboard rocket engine and is sent into suborbital space.
