Soon, Arizona-built spacecraft will be launched into space, as Virgin Galactic is building a new assembly plant for its Mothership spacecraft in Mesa.
The new plant, according to officials, will build Virgin Galactic's Mothership spacecraft, and the Arizona-build spaceships will be taking off into space, starting in 2025. FOX 10's Nicole Garcia reports.Spaceships designed to take private citizens out of this world will soon be manufactured in the Phoenix area, as Virgin Galactic has chosen Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport as the hub for its new rocketship assembly plant.
"They’ll have the Mothership in the hangar behind that will take the spaceship to New Mexico, where the launch site is," said Gateway Executive Airpark Manager of Development, Steve McKendry. "The weather in Arizona is great for flying," said McKendry. "The runways here are 10,000 feet long, which is what it takes to get one of these aircraft off the ground."
