VSS Voyager
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VSS Voyager[1][2] is to be the second ship built and used as part of the Virgin Galactic Fleet. It is a SpaceShipTwo-class suborbital manned spaceplane. Like its sister craft, VSS Enterprise, it shares its name with both a NASA spacecraft (Voyager) and a fictitious Star Trek starship (USS Voyager).
The design's first mother ship (WhiteKnightTwo) is named VMS Eve, and the second is expected to be named VMS Spirit of Steve Fossett, in honour of Steve Fossett.[3][4]
