Virgin Galactics Spaceport America is no longer an empty hangar
Mackay explains:
"The team has been busy preparing Spaceport America for commercial service, installing ground infrastructure and then conducting ground tests of all systems to ensure they are ready for flight. The arrival of VMS Eve in New Mexico means the start on the next important phase ̵[ads1]1; parent company operations before SpaceShipTwo's own flight operations. "
Richard Branson's company gives us an insight into the new building's recently completed interior, especially the two floors intended for aerospace operations. Virgin Galactic says that completing this interior work means the plant is "now operationally functional."
The ground floor ground floor, with its elevated and interactive digital walkway, will serve as the starting point and return for the spacecraft's launch from the port. Meanwhile, the second sky-themed floor has a dedicated mission control room, as well as an orientation room. The harbor, of course, has a hangar that will house all the spacecraft owned by Virgin Galactic and its tenants.
The company will use VMS Eve to fly simulated missions from the spacecraft from the spacecraft in the coming days. Later this year, it will return to Mojave to pick up Virgin & # 39; s VSS Unity suborbital vehicles, allowing their flight tests to be conducted from New Mexico where commercial flights will take place.
