Virgin Galactic has always maintained there was more to its business plan than taking adventurous rich people on suborbital flights, and it took a step towards affirming that position recently when it signed an agreement with the Southwest Research Institute to fly two of its scientists on a suborbital flight, with an opton to fly six more.
The scientists will conduct experments in fields from biology to astronomy, beginning to lay the groundwork for future suborbital science. VG says it sees such science flights as a big part of its plans.
