About Virgin Galactic

Virgin Galactic is an aerospace and space travel company. It flies private individuals and researchers to suborbital space. The site says it works to make safe, regular human spaceflight a reality.

Its vehicle is called SpaceShip. The site says it combines a hybrid rocket system with an in-flight experience built around the passenger. Spaceflight Expeditions are sold as an astronaut experience, and bookings are described as limited. A form on the site lets visitors begin the booking steps.

A second line of work is the Suborbital Space Lab. These missions give scientists and researchers access to suborbital space. In October 2026 the company announced an agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance space weather science.

The company is listed on the NYSE under the code SPCE. The investor page says next generation vehicles are meant to fly people to space more often. It also covers news, contacts and a transfer agent for shareholders.

A video series shows how the SpaceShips are built. Episodes cover carbon composite structures, flight controls, avionics, the wing, the feather, the fuselage and the launch vehicle.

The contact page lists separate teams for press and media, investor relations, careers, spaceflight sales and research. Each team has its own phone number in the +1 949 range. A separate careers site lists open roles.
