Small satellites are ushering in a new era of space capabilities — connecting us across vast distances, stimulating the global economy, and expanding the limits of human knowledge. This rapidly growing industry requires a launch service that is as agile and affordable as the satellites themselves. But until now, there hasn’t been one.
Enter Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne system: a rocket that combines proven technology with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques to propel human curiosity to new heights.

The Virgin Orbit Ventilator is in essence a very simple, very reliable, mechanical device designed to automate common manual resuscitators (also known as bag valve masks, and often referred to colloquially by the proprietary name “Ambu-bag”). The system can be used to treat moderate hypoxic and/or hypercarbic respiratory failure – in most. Quite the same Wikipedia. Virgin Orbit has developed a new mass-producible bridge ventilator to help in the fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Virgin Orbit team ha. Virgin Orbit is a company within the Virgin Group which provides launch services for small satellites. On January 17, 2021, their LauncherOne successfully reached orbit, and successfully deployed 10 cubesats. The company was formed in 2017 to develop the air-launched LauncherOne rocket, launched.

For too long, launchers have treated small satellite customers like second-class citizens. With Virgin Orbit, you’ll get first-class service at a fair cost so you can take full control of your satellite’s journey to space.

The beauty of our mobile launch pad is that we can fly wherever you need, whenever you need to go. Even hitting 20 flights per year isn't enough for us — we'll be pushing to do even more.

Luxurious customer service. Disruptive affordability. Honest transparency. Everything you love about the Virgin brand — now in orbit!

No need to worry about traffic jams at crowded spaceports. With us, you can skip the line and get to your orbit on your own schedule. Don’t go out of business waiting for your ride to space.

Launch With Us

Our mobile air launch system can easily reach any orbital inclination, giving you the ultimate flexibility when it comes to optimizing your mission. We’ll drop your satellite off exactly where it belongs, saving you time, money and fuel.

Launch With Us

Thanks to an experienced team with a long combined history of aerospace production, we’ve moved quickly from paper sketches to robust, proven hardware. Next-gen innovations such as hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing enable us to manufacture dozens of rockets per year from our facility in Long Beach, CA.
