Virgin Galactic Donates SpaceShipTwo Rocket Motor To Smithsonian Written 13 February 2019
CNET News reports that Virgin Galactic announced Monday that the SpaceShipTwo rocket motor was donated to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, and will be exhibited in its Future of Spaceflight gallery. Since that gallery doesn’t open until 2024, the motor will be displayed at the museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, for now. The Smithsonian will likely “gather items from other private spaceflight companies, like Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, in the meantime.”
