For the first time I have 10 satellites in orbit from an aircraft

The LauncherOne cohort of the Virgin Orbit company will log in to the space during the second launch of the launch. Asia, where 10 NASA cube satellite satellites were deployed. To reduce costs, spaceX differs from RocketLab, it is the first time that the company has launched satellites in orbital launch from an aircraft and not from reusable units.

Virgin Orbit’s launch system uses an airborne launch technology, in which a cohesive one launches from the abyss of a plane to a reaction, in the form of a traditional land launch platform. For the mission, the Virgin Orbit transport aircraft, a 747-400 custom-named Cosmic Girl, depicting Mojave’s aerial and special port close to the 18.50 UTC flight and a launch site on the Pacific Ocean, 75 kilometers to the Channel Islands.

After a successful launch of the aeronautics, the cohort of stages is increased and pushed into orbit. In the final of the flight, the LauncherOne team played 10 CubeSats satellites in the precise orbit of the team objective. The launch vehicles on board the LauncherOne vehicle were selected by NASA as part of the Agency’s CubeSat (CSLI) Launch Initiative.

In addition to increasing the capacity of the cohort, this technique allows the LauncherOne system to be the most flexible and receptive launch service in the world, with a high level of intelligence and of a amplia variasied de ubicaciones para acceder a cualquier orbita”, Signed by the company in a communication.

All of CubeSat’s missions were designed, constructed, and tested by United States universities, including the Brigham Young University (PICS), the University of Michigan (MiTEE), and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (CAPE-3). Este vuelo también marka un hito ya que nunca antes un cohete de orbital classe, lanzado desde el air y de combustible liquid, había llegado con écito al espacio.

This is the second intention of Virgin Orbit to deploy satellites in orbit from an aircraft. The first will take place in May 2020. On this occasion, the LauncherOne team launched an automated security breach debit to an error in trying to separate the aircraft.

Virgin Orbit has learned that many think it is impossible. It was very inspiring to see our Virgin Atlantic 747 specially adapted, Cosmic Girl, send the LauncherOne cohort to the orbit. This magnificent voyage is the culmination of many years of hard work and will also lead to a new generation of innovators on the orbit truck.”, Dijo the founder of Virgin Group, the English multimillionaire Richard Branson.

With this exit demonstration, Virgin Orbit will officially pass the commercial service to its nearest mission. Virgin Orbit has posterior launches reserved for customers from the EE.UU Special Force. y la Royal Air Force del Reino Unido has the best commercial como Swarm Technologies, SITAEL de Italia y GomSpace de Dinamarca.

Virgin Orbit, a subsidiary of Virgin Galactic, shares the idea of ​​taking tourists to space and getting pregnant with their planes. The Branson company also wanted to create a supersonic aircraft (in collaboration with Rolls-Royce to prepare what would be the ‘successor of the Concorde ”, a project called“ Mach 3 ″), and also dedicated to space satellites.
