Virgin Galactic is positioning for a comeback in 2026 after significant operational pauses and setbacks. Founded in 2004, the company aims to make space tourism viable with its SpaceShipTwo spacecraft.

Following a series of incidents and a focus on developing its next-generation Delta Class vehicles, operations have been halted to transition from demonstration missions to regular flights. The company is investing in new manufacturing facilities in Arizona to support scalable production. Financially, Virgin Galactic faces challenges but remains committed to establishing a commercial model in the suborbital tourism market.
