The Scaled Composites Model 339 SpaceShipTwo (SS2) is a suborbital air-launched spaceplane for carrying space tourists under development by The Spaceship Company a joint venture between Scaled Composites and the Virgin Group as part of the Tier 1b program. SpaceShipTwo is carried aloft by the mothership and then launched to fly on into the upper atmosphere powered by a rocket motor before returning to a conventional landing.
