Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo returns from its first space flight at Mojave Spaceport in Mojave, California. The spacecraft successfully flew to suborbital space Dec. 13 with four NASA-supported technology payloads onboard. The rocket motor burned for 60 seconds, taking the piloted spacecraft and payloads beyond the mission’s 50-mile altitude target.
