Virgin Galactic has introduced LauncherOne, a rocket that aims to make satellite deployment cheaper.
Virgin Galactic claims the new rocket — which travels at 80,000 mph and can circle the earth in 90 minutes — will cut the cost of deploying a satellite from the current $30 million to $40 million to $10 million. A maiden flight is expected in 2015 or 2016.
