Virgin Galactic highlighted its aerospace and space travel business development, including the completion of its sixth commercial spaceflight, 'Galactic 06,' in January 2024. The company has paused Unity spaceflights in mid-2024 to focus on the development of its Delta Class spaceships, with test flights expected in 2025 and revenue service beginning in 2026. The company has over 700 future astronaut reservations, representing approximately $198 million in expected future revenue. Virgin Galactic is also developing next-generation spaceflight vehicles to increase annual flight rates and expects to introduce a new mothership in 2028. The company's liquidity remains strong with $230.4 million in cash and equivalents and $636.9 million in marketable securities, and it believes it has sufficient capital to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months.
