f in the future you have an extra $250,000 and you want to fly into space as a tourist, contact Virgin Galactic. Most likely, it will be a leader in the field of space tourism, because at this time it has very serious intentions. The company has been testing the VSS Unity ship for several years in a row, which will someday allow you to look at our planet from a height of 100 kilometers and even visit weightlessness. But that's not all - on March 30, the company introduced the VSS Imagine aircraft, which looks even cooler. Most likely, it will be much more powerful and comfortable than the first model and a ticket for it will cost more. But for now, this is just an assumption and for now we can only say with confidence that it is very beautiful. The VSS Imagine spaceship has a mirror body that reflects the entire surrounding space.



What is a spaceship?
A spaceplane is an aircraft that is launched into Earth orbit by a rocket or a powerful aircraft. Virgin Galactic currently has two spaceplanes: VSS Unity and VSS Imagine. They will most likely be launched into orbit lithuania number data using the White Knight Two launch vehicle.


The VSS Imagine spaceplane belongs to a completely new family of aircraft called SpaceShipThree. Its technical characteristics are not yet known, the company has shared only general information about the new product. It is reported that the new model will be faster than the previous one, and its maintenance will be significantly simplified. And all because the design is made according to the “modular principle” - the components can be easily replaced. Such an innovation should also reduce the time between flights. Suppose the spaceplane makes one flight, lands and in a few days it will be ready to lift a new group of tourists into the air.



According to the founder of Virgin Group Richard Branson, the Imagine spaceplane is not just beautiful to look at. It is the first proof that the fleet of Virgin Galactic aircraft is constantly growing. He hopes that the tourists who have visited space thanks to them will return to Earth with new ideas that will have a good impact on the future of the planet. The entrepreneur is thinking in a very right direction. Perhaps when people see our planet from afar, they will realize the importance of keeping it clean.
