Virgin Galactic flew four tourists to the edge of space and returned aboard its spaceplane on Saturday, marking the company’s second mission of the year.
The Galactic 07 mission flew Turkish, American, and Italian passengers to an altitude of around 55 miles (88.51 kilometers) for slightly more than an hour.
The space tourism business stated that the flight launched from and returned to Spaceport America in New Mexico on Saturday.
It was the final commercial trip for Virgin’s VSS Unity spaceplane, as the corporation is now developing its fourth-generation spaceships, which are anticipated to enter commercial service in 2026, according to a statement.
