Virgin Galactic’sSpaceShipTwo test flights took place on May 22. Bloomberg says the company will resume sales for tourist flights and make good on its launch plans, including Richard Branson’s flight into space this summer. Virgin Galactic now has three more test flights ahead of its first commercial launch.
It was the first successful test since February 2019. The Virgin Galactic spacecraft tested in December 2020 failed because of an engine malfunction.

The company initially planned to launch SpaceShipTwo in February 2021 but announced it would give itself more time to perform necessary tests a day before launch. After conducting three more test flights, Virgin Galactic will launch its first commercial flight.”
