The company flew it from its Arizona factory to Spaceport America in New Mexico, where it will begin flight testing. What makes Apeiron different from the old spaceplane? Apeiron replaces VSS Unity, which completed seven suborbital flights in 2023 and 2024 before Virgin Galactic paused operations to cut costs and focus on its…
