Virgin Orbit provides dedicated, responsive, and affordable launch services for small satellites.
Founded by Sir Richard Branson and owned by the Virgin Group and Aabar Investments PJS, Virgin Orbit and its sister companies—Virgin Galactic and The Spaceship Company—are opening access to space to change the world for good. To launch the small satellite revolution, Virgin Orbit is developing LauncherOne, a flexible launch service for commercial and government-built satellites.
LauncherOne rockets are designed and manufactured in Long Beach, California, and are air-launched from a dedicated 747-400 carrier aircraft capable of operating from many locations in order to best serve each customer’s needs.
