Virgin Galactic operates a space plane called VSS Unity, which takes off under the wings of a carrier aircraft called VMS Eve. Once the duo gets to an altitude of about 50,000 feet , the space plane drops free and flies to suborbital space under its own rocket motor power. VSS Unity has flown to suborbital space four times so far, but it is currently sidelined due to maintenance and enhancement work on VMS Eve, which is expected to continue until mid-2022.
