The Spaceship Company has broken ground on a new assembly hangar at Mojave Air and Space Port for the production of Virgin Galactic’s WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo.
TSC is a new aerospace production company and a Northrop Grumman subsidiary who will build the fleet of SpaceShipTwos and WhiteKnightTwos for Virgin Galactic.
The new 68,000ft² clear span, 737-sized hangar including offices, will serve as TSC’s operating headquarters once complete and be used primarily for the final assembly, integration and testing of TSC’s vehicles before they enter service.
The building will support the production of two WhiteKnightTwos and at least two SpaceShipTwos in parallel.
