Virgin Spaceship Designs Go Public

Thursday 24th January 2008

Virgin Galactic have released to the public the final designs for the SpaceShipTwo which is an evolution of the X-Prize-winning SpaceShipOne concept that won the Ansari X-prize in 2005 for the first successful, privately developed, sub-orbital human launch-system.

The ship uses a different launch system to NASA vehicles and will be able to lift commercial payloads as well as fare-paying passengers.
