Glide Test For SpaceShipTwo

Virgin Galactic is moving ahead with its test flight schedule.  Last week, VG successfully conducted a flight test of SpaceShipTwo, dropping it from a WhiteKnightTwo mother ship and gliding it to a safe landing.

It was an unpowered flight, but separate test firings of SpaceShipTwo's eventual rocket motor are also going well.  VG plans powered test flights of SpaceShipTwo later this year.
