Gateway to Space Opens for First Time

THURSDAY 15TH AUGUST 2019: Virgin Galactic has revealed the first phase of the interior of Spaceport America in New Mexico, the world’s first-ever commercial spaceport.

For the first time, Virgin Galactic is revealing two major parts of the Spaceport, the operations centre which houses mission control, pilots’ working area, briefing centre, and the ground level which will act as a shared lounge area for customers, friends and families, and Virgin Galactic employees. Removing barriers, the ground level provides an area for customers to relax and enjoy their experience alongside Virgin Galactic staff.

Interviews with George Whitesides, CEO of Virgin Galactic, as well as Jeremy Brown, the lead architect and designer, Virgin Galactic’s President and VP of Operations and Julia Hunter will be available to download. GVs of the interior and operation elements of the design will also be available free of charge and free from copyright restrictions from 10:00 am MT on 15th August 2019 via https://www.image.net/virgingalactic. Individual soundbites will be added shortly.
