VirginOrbit launched seven satellites using its LauncherOne system last night, Friday, July 1, in its first nighttime launch.
While other companies like SpaceX or Rocket Lab use rockets for such launches, Virgin Orbit attaches a booster to a modified aircraft that carries it to 30,000 feet before releasing it. The booster then makes the rest of the journey into orbit and deploys its payload.
“Congratulations to our team for completing another successful mission to space today!” the company wrote on Twitter. “We deployed a total of seven customer satellites into Low Earth Orbit as planned.” This was the company’s fourth commercial mission, following its previous satellite deployment mission in January this year.
