Product Description
The SpaceShipOne has reached space through the support of a carrier aircraft the White Knight. The aircraft lifts Spaceship One from the runway. Then after an hour of climbing to roughly 50 000 feet elevation the White Knight releases the spaceship into a glide. The spaceship pilot fires his rocket machine for about 80 seconds reaching Mach 3 in a vertical rise. During the pull-up and rise the pilot encounters G-forces three to four times the seriousness of the ground.
