We would like to introduce a few of the incredible women who make our launches possible. The way we succeed in our quest to open space for everyone from everywhere is by empowering the most talented humans we can find and working to change the demographics of an industry that needs to improve. We hope that our awesome teammates and the incredible work they do inspires other women and girls to pursue careers and leadership positions in STEM! There is still a lot of work to be done to achieve gender equity in the aerospace industry, and we are committed to continuing to take steps in that direction.

"Looks like we made it above the clouds and on our way to orbit. It's a beauty up here!" says Launch Engineer Sarah Barnes.

The Virgin Orbit team completed another flawless mission to space today, deploying a total of 7 customer satellites into Low Earth Orbit. #AboveTheClouds

We couldn't be more proud of our incredible team and our one-of-a-kind launch system! One mission at a time, LauncherOne is revolutionizing the way we think about and get to space. Here's to many more missions — and soon!

Our engineers will be diving into the data collected today in short order, and we'll share more precise stats about the mission — and of course, photos and videos — when we have them. In case you weren't able to watch the livestream in real-time, just hop on over to our YouTube page to relive the experience.#VOEverUpwards

It's an excellent day to fly to space! Join us as we launch our Above the Clouds mission today, carrying payloads to orbit for three customers. We're excited to bring you real-time views from Mojave via our mission Livestream. We'll also live tweet the mission as we progress through major milestones. You can follow along on Twitter @Virginorbit.

Currently, we anticipate taking off from Mojave Air and Space Port in California between 1:20 and 3:50pm PT / 21:20 and 23:50 GMT. Learn more about today's mission and watch the Livestream by visiting our home on the web [link in bio].

Who wants to geek out on orbit inclination? 🤓 The spacecraft we are carrying for Above the Clouds mission will be launched to Low Earth Orbit at 500 km circular orbit at 45 degrees inclination!⠀
⠀
If all goes successfully, this will be the FIRST TIME EVER that anyone has reached this orbit from the West Coast! 😱 #Gasp ⠀
⠀
What does this mean for the future of opening #SpaceForGood? ⠀
⠀
It means that Virgin Orbit space ports will have a wider range of where we can go from each location, and our customers can reach much more when they fly with Virgin Orbit! ⠀
