As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month here at Virg

As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month here at Virgin Orbit, we want to take a moment to highlight and honor our hardworking and talented Hispanic and Latin teammates. They are key players in our organization and are making invaluable contributions to our rocket program.

We truly believe that the unique experiences and perspectives of the individuals on our team is one of our greatest strengths, and we’re very serious about cultivating an equitable, diverse, inclusive environment for everyone in our workspace. That said, we, like many other aerospace companies, have much work to do in this arena and are determined to do so. We believe we have a responsibility to effect positive change wherever we can and encourage others to do so as well.

Responsive launches are a key element of responsiv

Responsive launches are a key element of responsive space. Coming off flawless back-to-back launch performances, including one for the Department of Defense—Virgin Orbit is part of the growing conversation around a capability that government leaders say will deter enemies and boost national security. Along with our work in the civil and commercial sectors, ensuring space remains safe for all is a big part of how we’re opening space for good.

In engineering, failure is invaluable. Failure pro

In engineering, failure is invaluable. Failure propels our engineers and designers to learn more, learn faster, and to root out problems in development. Embracing failure in the test stand is a huge part of how we’ve achieved success in operations, and it will continue to be critical in making an inclusive and accessible space industry.

Azusena Jimenez, a Propulsion Components Test Engineer at Virgin Orbit says, “Failure actually opens more doors than shuts them.”
