Mike Moses, president of Virgin Galactic, said that work is continuing there to outfit the cabin interior for commercial flights, along with other upgrades, like the installation of a new digital flight control system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>The company didn\u2019t say when VSS Unity will arrive here\u2014when it\u2019s ready WhiteKnightTwo will fly back to Mojave to pick it up\u2014but when it does arrive Moses said the company will first perform a couple glide flights to test the new flight control system as well as get familiar with operations from a new spaceport.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>After that, \u201cwe\u2019ll be ready for rocket-powered flights,\u201d he said. There are eight hybrid rocket motors stockpiled at the spaceport, he noted, although he didn\u2019t commit to a specific number of test flights before commercial operations will begin. In documents filed last month in association with the company\u2019s planned merger with holding company Social Capital Hedosophia, Virgin stated it expected commercial operations to begin in the first half of 2020 (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespacereview.com\/article\/3769\/1\">\u201cA new path for space investment?\u201d<\/a>, The Space Review, July 29, 2019).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>** <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/exosaero.com\">EXOS Aerospace<\/a> reviews latest flight of the reusable SARGE suborbital rocket<\/strong>, which had a guidance problem shortly after liftoff but managed to return for a soft landing.

If you were able to watch the YouTube launch, live, then you saw the rocket lifted off beautifully (our best launch, actually) and then a few nanoseconds and a few thousand feet into the launch, an anomaly occurred and the rocket began to \u201cswim\u201d back and forth. It did this a couple of times, and then the guidance and directional systems corrected it, and the rocket flew to about 14,000 feet and successfully deployed the drogue and then the parachute, and flew back to the launch site for a safe and soft landing. All payloads and the rocket were recovered in good condition. The rocket will be ready to fly again in October. The Exos team has since met to discuss what caused the anomaly, and what we have learned from it.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>All lessons that may have been learned are prodded with the intent of making the rocket even better, and the next launch even higher. We considered this launch, in the end, to be a success, even though SARGE failed to reach our 80 KM altitude goal.\u00a0\u00a0This is because the data received from the flight will help get the navigational and directional control systems perfected sooner than without this invaluable data.\u00a0\u00a0Once navigation and control are balanced correctly, Exos should reach the 80 KM goal, expected in October.<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>If you would like to view the video recap of our latest launch, you can do so, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/x7xR9TgiFsM\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x7xR9TgiFsM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulalaunch.com\">ULA<\/a> set to launch a GPS navigation satellite on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulalaunch.com\/rockets\/delta-iv\">Delta IV<\/a> from the Cape on Thursday<\/strong>.
