Billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. said it’s on track to take an Italian Air Force research crew to space in the second quarter of 2023, kicking off the company’s long-awaited commercial service.
“Our near-term objective for commercial spaceline operations is to safely deliver recurring flights with our current ships while providing an unrivaled experience for private astronauts and researchers,” Chief Executive Officer Michael Colglazier said in a statement. Like others who are seeking to shuttle tourists to and from space, Virgin Galactic has faced setbacks. The company flew Branson to space on the VSS Unity in July 2021. A few months after that flight, the company announced it would begin a “planned vehicle enhancement and modification period” to upgrade its hardware, causing all flights to be grounded.
