Richard Branson took a Virgin Galactic vessel on a test flight from New Mexico to reach the edge of space on Sunday. A carrier plane carried the rocket-powered spaceplane VSS Unity to an altitude of 50,000 feet, then dropped it so the spaceplane could ignite its engine and ascend beyond 50 miles to give passengers a few minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth's curvature. The flight was a milestone for Branson's space tourism company Virgin Galactic to begin commercial operations.

Richard Branson takes off for space
from New Mexico
By VARINDIA ‐ 2021‐07‐12
Billionaire Richard
Branson took off
Sunday from a base
in New Mexico
aboard a Virgin
Galactic vessel
bound for the edge
of space, a voyage
he hopes will lift the
nascent space
tourism industry off
the ground.
A massive carrier
plane made a
horizontal take‐off
from Space Port,
New Mexico at
around 8:40 am
Mountain Time
﴾1440 GMT﴿ and will
ascend for around
an hour to an
altitutude of 50,000 feet ﴾15 kilometers﴿.
The mothership will then drop a rocket‐powered spaceplane called VSS Unity, which will ignite its
engine and ascend at Mach 3 beyond the 50 miles ﴾80 kilometers﴿ carrying two pilots and four
passengers, including Branson.

4.
Once the rocket engine is cut off, passengers can unbuckle and experience a few minutes of
weightlessness, while admiring the curvature of Earth from the ship's 17 windows.
The VSS Unity passenger rocket plane marked the company's 22nd test flight of its SpaceShipTwo
system, and its fourth crewed mission beyond Earth's atmosphere. Video posted by Virgin Galactic
showed Branson arriving earlier at the takeoff site on his bicycle and greeting crewmates with a
hug.
Reaching its high‐altitude launch point at about 46,000 feet, Unity was released from the
mothership and fell away as its crew ignited the vehicle's rocket, sending it streaking straight
upward at supersonic speed to the blackness of space some 53 miles ﴾85.9 km﴿ high.
At the apex of the climb with the rocket shut down, the crew then experienced a few minutes of
microgravity, before the spaceplane shifted into re‐entry mode, and began a gliding descent to a
runway back at the spaceport. The entire flight, from takeoff to landing, lasted about an hour.
A third player in the space race, Musk's SpaceX, plans to send its first all‐civilian crew ﴾without
Musk﴿ into orbit in September, after having already launched numerous cargo payloads and
astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA.
Richard said, my wife Joan Templeman told him, If you're foolish enough to do these wonderful
things, you can...but I won't be going to your funeral. The fact is she gor nervousness about his
spaceflight. Branson has joined with five others, including Indian‐born aeronautical engineer
Sirisha Bandla, on board Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity for the test flight.
Sirisha will operate a NASA‐supported plant experiment during Virgin Galactic's first fully crewed
spacefligh. Bandla will activate three plant‐filled tubes to release a preservative at critical data‐
collection stages during the flight. She will operate the experiment on behalf of co‐investigators
Dr Robert Ferl and Dr Anna‐Lisa Paul.
