The second prototype of the world’s first commercial spaceship, Virgin Galactic’s VSS Enterprise, has performed its first manned flight.
During the six-hour 12-minute flight, the spaceship remained attached to VMS Eve and numerous combined vehicle systems tests were conducted.
The two crew members on board VSS Enterprise also evaluated the spaceship’s systems and functions from end to end in the air.
The flight marks a step forward towards the first solo flights of VSS Enterprise.
