Virgin Galactic are performing test flights of their new WhiteKnightTwo, a large aircraft that will be instrumental in launching commercial spaceliners in to suborbital flights.
The skies over California's Mojave Air and Space Port are serving as the proving ground for the WhiteKnightTwo, the massive mothership being tested to air-launch commercial spaceliners on suborbital flights. A third test flight of the huge carrier craft — which looks like a giant catamaran for the sky — is deemed as "imminent", said Will Whitehorn, President of Virgin Galactic."
