Virgin Orbit launches satellite from the wing of a 747 into low earth orbit.

Payloads successfully deployed into our target orbit! We are so, so proud to say that LauncherOne has now completed its first mission to space, carrying 9 CubeSat missions into Low Earth Orbit for our friends at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Today's sequence of events for #LaunchDemo2 went exactly to plan, from safe execution of our ground ops all the way through successful full duration burns on both engines. We are beyond thrilled! https://virg.in/j7y
