Virgin Galactic says FAA has cleared it for further flights

LOS ANGELES — (AP) — Virgin Galactic said Wednesday that the Federal Aviation Administration has cleared it to resume launches after an investigation into why its spaceship veered off course while descending during a July flight with founder Richard Branson aboard. The company said it was advised by the FAA that corrective actions proposed by Virgin Galactic have been accepted. Virgin Galactic said it will incorporate additional steps in its flight procedures to ensure real-time mission notifications to FAA air traffic control. During the July 11 incident, the rocketship carrying Branson and five Virgin Galactic employees deviated outside the air traffic control clearance area during descent to a runway in New Mexico. Virgin Galactic has said high-altitude wind caused the change in flight path and insisted the two pilots responded appropriately.

SpaceX aiming for night launch of 4 on 1st private flight

It’s the first chartered passenger flight for Elon Musk’s SpaceX and a big step in space tourism by a private company. “It blows me away, honestly,” SpaceX director Benji Reed said on the eve of launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Their fully automated capsule has already been to orbit: It was used for SpaceX's second astronaut flight for NASA to the space station. The only significant change to the capsule, according to Reed, is the large domed window at the top in place of the usual space station docking mechanisms. Isaacman is using the flight to try to raise $200 million for St. Jude, half of that coming from his own pockets.
