WhiteKnightTwo

WhiteKnightTwo is a large aircraft designed primarily to carry and transport rockets or spacecraft to high altitudes. Its unique design features a wide wingspan and two fuselage sections, allowing it to carry heavy payloads. Once at altitude, it releases the rocket, which then ignites and continues its journey to space. Built by Virgin Galactic, WhiteKnightTwo serves as a carrier for launching space tourism missions and other space-related experiments. Its purpose is to provide a cost-effective and flexible method to reach the edge of Earth's atmosphere, facilitating access to space for research, exploration, and commercial purposes.
