Virgin Orbit sends 10 satellites to space with air-launched rocket

Billionaire Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit launched ten satellites into orbit on Sunday in a successful test of its key air-launched rocket. The rocket was notably launched mid-air from the underside of a modified Boeing 747 nicknamed Cosmic Girl. Sunday's launch was a major success for Virgin as it comes months after the rocket's first test launch was aborted in May last year.
