Virgin Galactic completes assembly of first SpaceShip and advances to ground testing phase

Virgin Galactic completes assembly of first SpaceShip and advances to ground testing phase
Virgin Galactic advances on SpaceShip

Virgin Galactic has announced its first SpaceShip reached Weight on Wheels status in April, signaling the completion of its assembly phase.

The company stated that ground testing is now underway and affirmed it remains on track to begin flight testing in the third quarter, with commercial spaceflight activities planned for the fourth quarter. This development represents a significant progression in Virgin Galactic’s roadmap toward operational space tourism. Industry watchers are looking to upcoming tests to gauge feasibility and market readiness.

Virgin Galactic previously advanced its next-generation SpaceShip to the test hangar for final integration and ground testing, according to an earlier update from the company. The move marked an earlier milestone in the spacecraft’s development. The current weight on wheels status follows this phased approach toward commercial operations.
