Virgin Galactic SpaceShip
The Virgin Galactic SpaceShip is a commercial suborbital and orbital spacecraft that will cater to space tourists. The first flight of the White Knight Two occurred on December 21, 2008, and the SpaceShipTwo on October 10, 2010, with the first space flight on December 13, 2018.
It consists of the Model 348 White Knight Two (WK2), a twin-fuselage, four-engine high-altitude launch vehicle and Model 339 SpaceShipTwo (SS2), VSS Unity (Virgin Space Ship Unity), an air-launched, single rocket engine suborbital spaceplane. Both aircraft are mainly of carbon composite, each with a flight crew of two pilots.
SpaceShipTwo is carried to its launch altitude of 16,767 km (50,000 ft) by White Knight Two, where it is released to fly into the upper atmosphere powered by its rocket engine. On re-entry, the tail booms pivot up 65° to increase drag, slowing the craft down, known as the feathering system. It then glides back to Earth and performs a conventional runway landing.
White Knight Two uses four Pratt & Whitney PW308A turbofan axial flow engines, and SpaceShipTwo uses a single RocketMotorTwo, a liquid/solid hybrid rocket engine.
