Virgin Orbit have announced their first test launch is targeted for Sunday May 24th, they'll attempt to launch their Launcher One rocket into orbit from the Cosmic Girl carrier aircraft. The launch will occur over the Pacific ocean west of Southern California.
It's the first time a cryogenically fueled air launched orbital rocket has been attempted, so it'll be fascinating to see whether all the engineering, planning, testing and rehearsals will reward the company with a successful launch on their first attempt. Most rockets fail on their first attempt, and since this is doing a number of new things the team are prepared to accept even a partial success as a win.
