What an epic week with the Virgin Galactic & International Institute for Astronautical Sciences & Southwest Research Institute teams working tirelessly to support Kellie Gerardi & Alan Stern for their successful research spaceflight! Thank you for every insanely magical moment ✨✨✨

This research spaceflight took all hands on deck. Virgin Galactic was exceptional to work with. From the engineers, to the payload integration team, to the facilities team, to the pilots - it was the ideal environment for research to take flight. This is research spaceflight.
