| Orbital flight is the next big step. Virgin Orbit is almost ready air-launch satellites. The Virgin Galactic sister company performed its first-ever drop test today (July 10), releasing a LauncherOne rocket from its Boeing 747 carrier plane over California's Mojave Desert. "Now THAT's what I call a drop test! Video from today's very successful drop test of our #LauncherOne small satellite launch vehicle.
