LauncherOne to make second orbital launch attempt with NASA CubeSats


LauncherOne reaches orbit on second attempt with NASA CubeSats
January 17, 2021
After an eight month stand down to resolve issues revealed during the first mission of Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket, the company made their second orbital launch attempt on Sunday, January 17. The air-launched rocket successfully carried ten CubeSats to their target orbit for NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) program.
The cosmic girl aircraft took off at 10:38 PST (18:38 UTC). Launch occurred at 11:39 PST (19:39 UTC), a little under halfway into the four hour launch window that opened at 10:00 PST (18:00 UTC). Backup launch dates were available later in January.
The mission began at the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, where the Cosmic Girl Boeing 747-400 carrier aircraft departed for the drop zone over the Pacific Ocean. This is the same location that hosted the first LauncherOne mission in May 2020, which failed shortly into first stage flight. ....

Last year, its LauncherOne reached the edge of space for the first time in the company s history.
However, the mission was abandoned when the plane reached near orbit due to a propellant line breaking shortly after the first-stage burn began.
Virgin s space fairing arms have been busy during the coronavirus pandemic, with its other space company, Virgin Galactic, having recently successfully tested its VSS Unity.
The company stated it considered this step a major milestone in its bid for commercial flights, which could begin as early as this year.
