Following the team’s successful orbital launch demonstration in January 2021, “Tubular Bells: Part One” marks the debut of Virgin Orbit’s commercial service.
Virgin Orbit’s air-launch technology is revolutionizing how we think about and conduct launches to space, offering more flexibility, agility and responsiveness than any traditional ground-based launch system. Our LauncherOne system enables easier access to space for a variety of small satellite makers and operators — including both government and commercial customers alike.
