Muszę się przyznać, że lata opóźnień i problemów zachwiały moją wiarą w VG. Po prostu spisałem ich na starty. Jakże miło jest się mylić! ^^,
Spaceship Two--------------Virgin Galactic completed its first suborbital spaceflight on Dec 13.The White Knight Two carrier aircraft, VMS Eve, took off from runway30/12 at Mojave Air and Space Port, California, at 1511:35 UTC, on itsflight WK2-261. After looping around to the east and north, VMS Eveheaded back south towards Mojave and at 1559:39 UTC, over 118.22W35.39N near Kelso Valley, dropped the Spaceship Two vehicle VSS Unity onits flight N202VG-015/VP-03. After 2 second free fall the hybrid motorwas ignited for a 60.0 second burn. The spacecraft, carrying astronautsMark 'Forger' Stucky and Frederick 'C.J.' Sturckow, flew to an apogeeof 82.682 km and descended safely to a landing on the same runway atMojave with wheels stop at 1613:47UTC for a flight time of 14m08s.
With the usual caveats that apply to all test flights, and with the added uncertainties of weather at this time of year in Mojave, the window for our fifth supersonic powered test flight opens on February 20, 2019, and our test flight is planned for the morning of Wednesday, February 20.

Tucking SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo back into the hangar as we wait for the high winds to die down here in Mojave, CA. The flight window remains open and we’ll try again in the next few days.
