Key Takeaways:

Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity last week completed its seventh flight over the Mojave Desert, the first since last summer. The flight was designed to validate work completed during recent months of downtime, including transonic flight performance, stability and control to ensure the vehicle is ready for the higher loads and forces of powered test flight.
