Introducing the #Galactic07 mission patch! This design embodies the unity and spirit of our crew. It features an atom at the apex symbolizing the scientific research taking place on the spaceflight, angel wings to represent love of the skies, and six stars representing our six astronauts. This patch proudly symbolizes our shared journey and aspirations.

Today, on Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. military.

Happy Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Day from The Gateway to Space hangar at Spaceport America! Our AMTs play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our crew, customers, vehicles, and flight operations. We deeply appreciate their tireless efforts behind the scenes, maintaining our ground equipment and spacecraft in optimal condition.

Welcome aboard! Today is the first day of Summer 2024 Internships, and we are thrilled to see the Virgin Galactic family grow.

Virgin Galactic has opened a new system integration facility in Southern California. This facility is equipped with the "Iron Bird" test rig, enabling us to thoroughly test and validate dozens of Delta subsystems. More → https://lnkd.in/gC7c3Uza

The simulator, essential for pilot training, also plays a pivotal role in designing our new Delta fleet. It's used by various engineering disciplines to ensure systems are spaceflight-ready. Join us in #DeltaDiaries as Virgin Galactic Pilot Jameel Janjua discusses its importance in developing our Delta Class spaceships.
