Virgin Orbit May 24 Will Test Orbital Rocket in Air over the Pacific Ocean
The test is scheduled for next Sunday and in adverse circumstances will be rescheduled for May 25. In both cases, the time window opens at 10:00 UTC (20:00 Moscow time) and closes after four hours. The upcoming demonstration test was in preparation for five years. Virgin Orbit is aware that flight tests of similar systems, carried out by government organizations and private companies, statistically ended in failure in the middle of the allotted time.
Branson's other company, Virgin Galactic, on May 1 conducted the first flight test in the sky over the State of New Mexico for the SpaceShipTwo series Unity spaceship.
