Virgin Galactic’s Delta class spaceship design is backed by years of engineering and analysis from our talented team. To showcase the magnitude of this endeavor, we invite you to watch here for an overview of our next gen production model spaceship design.
Tune into the Q2 2024 earnings call today at 2PM PT to hear more updates on the progress we're making → https://t.co/StqtAujovg
Ever wonder what it's like to go to space? Dr. Alan Stern flew with Virgin Galactic to perform some studies and enjoy the view of a lifetime! If you know anyone who can hook us up with a ticket, please let us know!!
Progress: Our Virgin Galactic Delta class spaceship facility is coming to life. With the main building exceeding two football fields in length, this new facility is where the fleet of Delta spaceships will be built, tested, and flown on their maiden voyage to New Mexico! #DeltaDiaries
No matter how many photos or movies Robie Vaughn had seen, nothing could have prepared him for the incredible sights he saw with @virgingalactic in the atmosphere 🚀 #Galactic06
Built for a higher purpose. Crafted to inspire and elevate the experience of going to space, the spaceship cabin is central to the astronaut journey. Together with @RoushOfficial we’re developing an innovative, comfortable, and safe environment to deliver on that experience. #DeltaDiaries
Check out a bird’s eye view of our spaceship facility in Phoenix, AZ! This is where our Delta Spaceship Fleet will be assembled. It's also where final ground checkouts will be performed before flight testing. #DeltaDiaries

The #Galactic06 flight window opens on January 26, 2024, for our 11th spaceflight. VSS Unity will carry four customers, following a year of unprecedented human spaceflight achievements, including six suborbital spaceflights in six months. Details → https://t.co/dnZJdtzSuF
Virgin Galactic is thrilled to announce the appointment of Luigi Brambilla to Virgin Galactic's Board of Directors. Luigi brings with him an impressive 18-year track record of experience spanning the Travel & Leisure, Wellness, Entertainment, and Financial sectors, with a notable decade-long tenure at the Virgin Group.
🚀 Welcome aboard, Luigi! https://t.co/9BUBInMUSb
Brilliant to see @VirginGalactic complete another successful research spaceflight, marking its 6th successful spaceflight in 6 months. Here’s more on the mission & how the spaceship was converted into a suborbital lab for scientific research: https://t.co/vsbVMuSUM3
#Galactic05
What research is @KellieGerardi conducting during #Galactic05? Let’s discuss!
First: Kellie’s fluids experiment will free float in the spaceship cabin to examine how a confined fluid behaves in low gravity. Data gathered from the #Galactic05 spaceflight can help inform a range of tech from spacecraft life support systems to new syringe designs for administering medication in space.
L-1 and counting! We are on schedule to take the #Galactic05 crew and their research to space tomorrow, November 2. This mission will once again convert VSS Unity into a suborbital science lab.
What's in a patch? For the #Galactic05 mission, it’s all about the science!
The design features the universal symbol of science at the apex, a horizontal line that symbolizes the infinite possibilities of suborbital research exploration, 4 blue pillars representing STEM, and a silhouette of a young girl that embodies the aspirations of the next generation.
Ahead of the Launch, me and my Space Posse took a particularly personal and emotional route to Spaceport America. Here’s our very limited edition Tour T-Shirt.. #Galactic04
