Yesterday, Virgin Orbital completed Launcher One.

Yesterday, Virgin Orbiter completed the launch and drop test of the Launcher-1 small satellite launch vehicle. The rocket is capable of delivering 300 kilograms of load to 500 kilometers of solar synchronous orbit at an estimated cost of about $12 million. According to the design, a modified Boeing 747 will take the rocket up and release it from high altitude and ignite it. Yesterday’s test successfully tested the link of high altitude release, and then it should be a real test launch! Steed’s Neck Video
