VIRGIN ORBIT JUST LAUNCHED A ROCKET STRAPPED TO THE WING OF A 747
IT'S THE FIRST TIME THE COMPANY LAUNCHED A PRIVATE PAYLOAD INTO LOW-EARTH ORBIT FROM ITS AIRLINER.



Satellite delivery company Virgin Orbit — not to be confused with the space tourism company Virgin Galactic, though both were started by Richard Branson — just flew a Boeing 747 to a lofty height before launching a space rocket strapped to the bottom of one of its wings.

The modified 747, dubbed Cosmic Girl, took off from the Mojave Air and Space Port in California early Wednesday morning with a small rocket in tow. At an altitude of around 33,000 feet, the rocket fired its own engines and took off to low-Earth orbit on its own.

The mission, whimsically called “Tubular Bells: Part One,” marks the first time Virgin Orbit has launched a payload for paying commercial customers — and the kickoff of a novel way of delivering private satellites into orbit.
