Virgin Galactic

Virgin Galactic’s Delta Class spaceship design is backed by years of engineering and analysis from our talented team. The re-usability and turn time capabilities being built into our Delta ships are planned to deliver high capacity with an industry-leading cost structure. This will drive solid profitability as we launch our initial two ships, outstanding profitability as we expand our fleet, and of course, a customer experience beyond compare. These production model spaceships are game-changers in human spaceflight.     Tune into the Q2 2024 earnings call today at 2PM PT → https://lnkd.in/gwrCc2uE

Research update: On June 8, a team of University of California, Berkeley researchers sent their 3D printing technology to space for the first time as part of the #Galactic07 mission. Their next-generation microgravity printer — dubbed SpaceCAL — spent approx. 3 minutes in space while aboard VSS Unity. During that time, it autonomously printed a total of four test parts, including space shuttles and benchy figurines from a liquid plastic resin.
