Galactic 02
Galactic 02 (G02) was a crewed sub-orbital spaceflight of the SpaceShipTwo-class VSS Unity, launched on 10 August 2023. It was the second commercial spaceflight and seventh overall spaceflight for American aerospace company Virgin Galactic. The mission was the first to carry space tourists (people who are not working during the flight), as the previous flight, Galactic 01, carried astronauts from the Italian Air Force and the Italian National Research Council (who carried out research experiments during the flight).
The crew of Galactic 02 included three private passengers and three Virgin Galactic employees. Jon Goodwin became the first Olympian and second person diagnosed with Parkinson's disease to fly to space, while Keisha Schahaff and Anastatia Mayers became the first mother-daughter duo to fly to space. Mayers also became the second youngest person and youngest woman to fly to space, as of August 2023.
