The journey commenced at 10:30 A.M. ET from Spaceport America, New Mexico, with the Virgin Galactic mothership VMS Eve carrying VSS Unity beneath its wing. At 11:29 A.M. ET, Unity detached from the mothership, ignited its hybrid engine, and propelled itself toward space.<\/p>\n

Under the mission name Galactic 01, Unity attained an altitude of 85.1 km, allowing the crew on board to experience several minutes of microgravity, providing ample time for conducting various experiments. Unity touched down 14 minutes after separation, executing a flawless landing.<\/p>\n
