Did you know that one Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747's is used as a rocket launcher?
The Virgin Atlantic 747 known as Cosmic Girl left the fleet in 2015 to take on a new mission. Rather than transporting passengers, Cosmic Girl is now an airborne launch platform for Virgin Orbit to send satellites into space.
The rocket LauncherOne is mounted at the additional engine mount And rather than finding Premium Economy on the Upper Deck, you'll find Virgin Orbit's mission control.
To launch the rocket, pilots fly Cosmic Girl to 35,000 feet. They then pitch the aircraft up 30-degrees and releases the rocket, before banking away to the right of the rocket, which will ignite five seconds after separating from the 747. The first stage of the rocket takes the satellite into a parking orbit around the Earth. The second stage of the rocket then ignites to take the satellite into its correct resting orbit.
I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little aviation fact for today! More to come tomorrow!
Wishing you all the best!
