SpaceShipTwo

SpaceShipTwo is a suborbital spaceplane developed by Virgin Galactic, designed to carry passengers to the edge of space. It operates using a two-stage system: it is lifted to altitude by a mothership, then ignites its rocket to soar to about 50 miles high, briefly experiencing weightlessness. The craft aims to make space tourism accessible, offering a unique experience of seeing Earth from above and experiencing a few minutes of microgravity. SpaceShipTwo represents a significant step in commercial space travel, highlighting the growing interest in private ventures in the aerospace industry.
