Another of Richard Branson's companies, Virgin Galactic, expects to launch a human mission from Spaceport America — its New Mexico headquarters — in February. Two pilots will fly the SpaceShipTwo model, carrying some research payloads for NASA, to suborbital altitudes.
The company has twice launched employees on up-and-down suborbital flights from its test facility in California's Mojave Desert. The company first attempted a flight from Spaceport America in December, but a bad connection on an onboard computer stopped the rocket motor from igniting. February's flight will test the company's attempt to fix the issue.
