SpaceVision 2012 is starting tonight! It's a great place to connect with the next generation of space leaders. Students: if you aren't here this year, make sure you don't miss it in the future.

We are so honored (honoured, even!) to have Richard Branson visiting us in Mojave today! Our whole team has the chance to catch up with the big boss, and to show him all of the things that keep us so busy. Here, Richard and Holly show off how lightweight the materials that make up SpaceShipTwo are!

Clue: this ultra lightweight cabin will take us where only 500 people have gone!

SPACESHIPTWO COMPLETES FIRST GLIDE IN POWERED FLIGHT CONFIGURATION

SpaceShipTwo today undertook its 23rd glide flight in the pre-powered portion of its incremental test flight program.

This was a significant flight as it was the first with rocket motor components installed, including tanks. It was also the first flight with thermal protection applied to the spaceship’s leading edges. It followed an equally successful test flight last Friday which saw SpaceShipTwo fly in this configuration, but remain mated to its WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft.

All objectives of both flights were successfully met.

SpaceShipTwo is expected to undertake a minimum of two more glide flights in order to complete all remaining preparation for its first powered flight.

Congratulation to the test pilots, engineers, technicians and all involved!

The good people over at The Planetary Society are running a competition for the best ways to put the money NASA spends on planetary science into context. How much is $1.5 billion, anyway? Surf on over to their site to submit your ideas!

How Big Is the International Space Station?

The largest spacecraft ever built, the ISS is also the world's most expensive single object, costing upwards of 100 billion dollars, according to the Government Accountability Office.

The dimensions of the completed ISS research facility will be approximately 356 feet (109 meters) by 240 feet (73 meters), or slightly larger than a football field. When completed, the ISS will weigh around 450 tons (408,000 kg), or 450 times the weight of an average car.

Another excellent rocket test! This photo from last Friday shows the second in a short series of final qualification tests prior to the first rocket-powered flight of SpaceShipTwo. The photo looks great, and the data looks even better.
