Thread: our CEO, Michael Colglazier, on today’s flight test. Today’s flight landed beautifully, with pilots, planes, and spaceship safe, secure, and in excellent shape — the foundation of every successful mission! Our flight today did not reach space as we had been planning. After being released from its mothership, SpaceShipTwo Unity’s onboard computer that monitors the rocket motor lost connection. As designed, this triggered a fail-safe scenario that intentionally halted ignition of the rocket motor.

SpaceShipTwo Unity and the crew are on target to attempt our first rocket-powered flight from Spaceport America, New Mexico today. The weather looks good and we’re targeting an 08:00amMT take-off. Stay tuned for live updates. We will be providing live updates on today's flight via Twitter. This flight will not be live streamed - we’re saving that moment for a special flight in the future.

In response to Covid-19 we formed a task force with @NASAArmstrong, @Antelopevalleyc, @CityofLancaster and @TheSpaceshipCo. Our aim is to help manage the patient surge and demands on breathing assistance mechanisms in our community. Here’s what’s happened virg.in/TjR Designed and built several prototype patient oxygen hoods, which allow oxygen-rich pressure to support those admitted with COVID-19 - opening up the alveoli in the lungs, and helping to delay or prevent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) from developing.
