Virgin Galactic planned to perform the first spaceflight in nearly two years by its SpaceShipTwo suborbital vehicle VSS Unity in 2024-05-31 from Spaceport America in New Mexico.
Virgin Galactic concluded that VMS Eve would be sufficient to support the Delta-class test flight campaign in 2025 and Unity commercial flights, deferring the need for new motherships until Delta-class commercial service begins in 2026.
Virgin Galactic planned to finalize the Delta-class vehicle design in 2024, retaining the same outer mold line as Unity but changing the composite structure and upgrading systems like avionics to make the vehicle lighter and faster to turn around between flights.
If Unity 25 is successful, Virgin Galactic expects to conduct its first commercial flight, Galactic 01, in late June 2024 as a dedicated research flight for the Italian Air Force under a contract announced in 2019.
Virgin Galactic had not announced a specific calendar date for Unity 25 other than that it would occur in 2024-05-31.
The next step for Virgin Galactic after the 2023-04-26 glide flight is a powered test flight of VSS Unity with four company mission specialists joining two pilots to assess the customer experience and ground-based training.

VSS Unity’s test flight campaign will be followed by a research flight for the Italian Air Force under a contract signed in 2019.
The station’s robotic arm grappled the Cygnus spacecraft at 5:20 a.m. Eastern on 2022-11-09 and berthed it to the Unity module two and a half hours later.
Work on VSS Unity itself is complete while upgrades to VMS Eve are due to be completed later this quarter at a company facility in Mojave, California.
