In today's episode, we focus on two significant developments in the space industry. On one hand, Virgin Galactic is moving forward with its next-generation Delta class spaceplane, following the successful commercial voyages of its VSS Unity spaceplane. On the other, NASA is addressing vital concerns with the Orion spacecraft's heat shield following the Artemis 1 mission, critical for the safety of the crewed Artemis 2 mission slated for November 2024.
Virgin Galactic, having launched commercial space travel with VSS Unity, is now progressing towards its advanced Delta spaceplane. Unity, slated to be retired by mid-2024, will make way for Delta, offering greater capacity and efficiency. This transition is part of Virgin Galactic's strategy to enhance its space tourism business, with the Delta expected to carry six passengers, compared to Unity's four, and requiring less maintenance for more frequent launches.
