This mission will be Virgin Galactic’s seventh spaceflight, second commercial spaceflight and third spaceflight this year; flying on this occasion three private passengers to space. The flight window will open on August 10th, continuing the Company’s regular cadence of spaceflights and subject to the usual weather and technical considerations.
