Virgin Galactic successfully completed the first test flight of its SpaceShipTwo, named VSS Enterprise, under its WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft. The flight lasted three hours, and all went well. SpaceShipTwo is designed to carry two pilots and six paying customers to the edge of space on suborbital flights.
VG plans an extensive series of test flights, with commercial flights starting in late 2011 or early 2012 from Spaceport America in New Mexico.
