Sir Richard Branson has announced that Virgin Galactic intends to begin offering a satellite delivery service in 2016, thus adding another income stream to the company's fortunes.
WhiteKnightTwo will carry aloft an expendable, two-stage rocket-- LauncherOne-- which will be capable of putting a 500-pound satellite into low Earth orbit, or a 225-pound satellite in Sun synchronous orbit. VG says it already has dozens of customers lined up.
