Global Network Comprehensive ReportAccording to foreign media reports on June 19, Virgin Galactic recently announced that its first commercial flight mission Galactic01 was scheduled to launch from June 27 to 30.

It is reported that this first mission will carry three scientific researchers, who plan to go to space for Micro-g environment research. If the first flight mission goes smoothly, its second mission Galactic02 is expected to be launched in early August.

Virgin Galactic said, "With the addition of scientific payloads, space flight will demonstrate the value and strength of the unique suborbital science laboratory provided by Virgin Galactic." In the future, Virgin Galactic plans to carry out a flight mission every month, but relevant details have yet to be disclosed. Affected by the good news, the share price of Virgin Galactic, which is listed in New York, rose by 40% in after hours trading.

In May, Virgin Galactic completed a test flight, sending six employees to the edge of space and successfully returning. Virgin Galactic sent Branson into space in July 2021, and has been preparing for business operations since then. However, due to the company's upgrade of aircraft, business flights have been delayed repeatedly. So far, VSSUity has successfully flown 5 times.

It is reported that Virgin Galactic is not the only company that brings paying customers to suborbital space. Jeff Bezos' space flight company BlueOrigin also achieved this on its NewShepard spacecraft.
