Virgin Galactic is set to launch its third commercial spaceflight, Galactic 03, on Friday, September 8. The mission will carry three paying customers, who are part of Virgin Galactic's group of "Founder" astronauts. The identities of the customers have not been revealed, but they have been ticket holders since 2005. The customers will fly aboard the VSS Unity space plane with an astronaut instructor, and the launch will not be livestreamed. This will be Virgin Galactic's third commercial spaceflight, following Galactic 02 and Galactic 01.
