Virgin Galactic Sets October 28 for Lead Delta Class Spaceship’s Arrival at Spaceport America, Marking Start of Flight Test Preparations
Virgin Galactic's lead Delta Class Spaceship is scheduled to fly to Spaceport America, New Mexico on October 28, marking the transition from vehicle assembly to flight test preparations. The first commercial spaceflight of the lead Spaceship is now expected in early Q2 2027, with a second ship following in late Q2/early Q3 2027 -- a timeline that reflects additional time needed for avionics software integration and validation, signaling a delay.
