Virgin Orbit to jedno, tam chociaż wyniesiono parę ładunków, tak naprawdę beznadziejnym przypadkiem jest Virgin Galactic.
A primary reason for doing flight test on Eve is to inform our models. We have the ability to model our vehicle in terms of aerodynamics, loads and systems. Our engineers are able to use these computer models to predict how the vehicle will perform in different phases of flight. So, for flight tests, we actually go out and fly very specific conditions, gather data from the vehicle, such as airspeed, altitude, and various other aircraft parameters. Then the engineers look at the data and determine things like; to what degree did the wing bend or not bend? Our engineers take all of that information and update their models because, although we don’t fly every possible situation, our computer models can and do!
Glide flight objectives:✅ Evaluate spaceship in the glide phase of flight✅ Continue evaluating spaceship handling qualities and flight controls✅ Gather data on the new mothership pylon with spaceship attached

It appears that the drop was over 107.00W 33.30N at 1347:08 UTC and the flight lasted about 9min 04s. This flight is designated Unity 24; the Unity 23 name is apparently being kept for the Italian AF flight that will probably happen later this year.
