The Virgin Orbit team have got right back into action in 2018 at our rocket factory in Long Beach, California.
They
are testing every major part of the rocket, which will be attached to
our 747 air launch platform
, dropped, and once in orbit, it will travel around Earth at roughly 18000 mph delivering satellites.
Small satellites will vastly improve our access to data around the
world and the market has reacted really positively to us a newcomer. We
are really excited to announce today that Denmark-based commercial
satellite developer GomSpace is our newest customer. The company has
purchased a launch for several nanosatellites onboard a LauncherOne
rocket.
Along with signing new customers, the Virgin Orbit team has been testing rocket engines at our Mojave facility. Here’s a video of one of our most recent tests, a long-duration, full-thrust firing of our NewtonThree rocket engine.
