摘要

Virgin Galactic is "turning the corner" from its October SpaceShipTwo accident and plans to complete and start testing a second vehicle this year, the company's chief executive said Jan. 9. In one of his first public speeches since the Oct. 31 crash that destroyed the company's first SpaceShipTwo suborbital vehicle and killed one of two pilots onboard, George Whitesides told an audience at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics' SciTech 2015 conference in Kissimmee, Florida, that the company was rebounding from the accident. "Our test flight accident in October of last year was really the toughest thing that our business could undergo," he said. "Today, nine weeks after this fairly traumatic event, our company is turning the corner and looking to the future." That focus, Whitesides said, includes working on the second SpaceShipTwo, which was already under construction prior to the accident. He said structural fabrication of the vehicle is more than 90 percent complete, and other systems are two-thirds complete.
