Virgin Orbit names next mission and expands operations to Brazil
May 10, 2021
Following the first successful launch of LauncherOne in January, Virgin Orbit is aiming for their next mission to lift off in June. While the launch campaign is underway, the small satellite launch provider continues to secure additional launch sites around the world for expending launch operations, adding their newest site in Brazil.
In a ceremony held at Brasília Air Base, in the capital of the country, the company was one of those qualified to proceed to the contracting and operating phase of its rockets at the Alcântara Launch Center (CLA). Virgin Orbit’s goal is to use the airport’s military base as a mobile operations center, increasing its mission cadence and serving more customers.
