Good vibrations only. 🛠️ Aeroelasticity Engineer II Ana Predescu takes us inside ground vibration testing on Spaceship. Our engineers suspended the vehicle on soft bungees to simulate flight, shook it with electrodynamic shakers and captured every response with 150+ sensors. The result? A successful test with high-quality data gathered. Another key milestone on the road to flight.

Two of our own just earned one of flight test's highest honors. Congrats to Michael "Sooch" Masucci and Andy Edgell, named 2026 Fellows of The Society of Experimental Test Pilots (@SETP_ORG). SETP Fellow is the Society's top membership grade. It recognizes pilots whose work has made a lasting contribution to aerospace and flight testing. Sooch and Andy have helped push the boundaries of what's possible in commercial human spaceflight. They bring skill, discipline, and a relentless focus on safety to every flight. We're proud to fly with them.

We built it. You name it. As we prepare the next generation of spaceships, one of them needs a name, and we’re asking the world to choose it. Details → #nameaspaceship#

🇺🇸 America turns 250 today. Our country was founded on the belief that the next horizon is always worth pursuing. That same spirit lives in every flight we fly and every spaceship we build. To everyone working to lift humanity higher, thank you. Here's to the next 250. Happy birthday, America. #America250#

Last week, our Astronaut community flew in from around the world for our “Behind the Hangar Door” Spaceship Factory Experience. They stepped inside our Factory to see, for the first time, the next-generation spaceship that will fly them to space. With our top engineering and manufacturing leaders guiding the discussions, our Astronauts got a firsthand look at the expertise, precision engineering, quality manufacturing, and unwavering commitment to safety behind every spaceship. They also heard how work is progressing in The Forge, our new rocket motor production facility currently under construction. The energy at the factory said it all. Watching this incredible community stand alongside the team building the new spaceship that will fly them to space was a reminder of why we do this work. A spaceflight with Virgin Galactic is a chance to see the world differently, and that perspective is a key part of the adventure. We couldn’t imagine a better group to share this with.
