>In an earnings call Feb. 27, company executives said they still expected to fly the Galactic 07 mission by its VSS Unity suborbital spaceplane in the second quarter of the year despite an incident on the Galactic 06 flight Jan. 26 where an alignment pin fell from the VMS Eve carrier aircraft after deploying Unity. The company said Feb. 5 it had notified the Federal Aviation Administration of the incident.
>Executives continues to talk up a bright long-term future for the company once the Delta-class vehicles are in service. A fleet of four to five spaceplanes and two mothership aircraft could support 300 to 400 flights a year from a spaceport, generating revenue of more than $1 billion a year. Those flights would serve a total addressable market of about 300,000 people worldwide with the interest and means to pay a flight, the company estimates based on its research.
