Virgin Galactic Adding to Engineering Team to Work on New Launch Vehicle Program
Engineering resources were expected to shift back to the new mothership program after engineering work on Delta 1 had completed. These are the words of Michael Colglazier at the last earnings call Q&A session. Recent job postings now confirm that focus is indeed shifting to the mothership program. Here is part of Michael Colglazier's response at the last earnings call in relation to the new mothership program:
>So the next stage with our launch vehicle is to have the engineers come off our ship and really lean into the launch vehicle design. And then we'll start having kind of alternating production between spaceships. We'll build a launch vehicle. We'll probably build a couple of spaceships. We'll match with another launch vehicle. and grow the fleet in a balanced fashion like that.
