    Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket successfully makes it to space on the second try. The 747 carrier aircraft took off from Mojave Air and Space Port in California at 10:38 a.m. PST (1:38 p.m. EST; 1838 GMT) Sunday January 17th with the nearly 29-ton LauncherOne rocket mounted under its left wing.  After heading west, then turning south to cross California’s Central Coast, the aircraft’s two pilots and two launch engineers readied the rocket for release. Piloted by Kelly Latimer, a former U.S. Air Force test pilot, the 747 jumbo jet entered a steep climb of more than 25 degrees just before the crew sent the command to drop the 70-foot-long (21-meter) rocket around 35,000 feet (10,700 meters) over the Pacific Ocean off the coast Southern California at 11:39 a.m. PST (2:39 p.m. EST (1939 GMT). NASA called the Virgin Orbit mission ELaNa-20, or the Educational Launch of Nanosatellites-20. The 10 CubeSats on this mission: CACTUS-1 – Capital Technology University, Laurel, Maryland; CAPE-3 – Unversity of Louisiana Lafayette, Louisiana; EXOCUBE-2 – California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, California; MiTEE – University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan; PICS – Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah; PolarCube – University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, Colorado; Q-PACE – University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida; RadFXSat-2 – Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee; TechEdSat-7 – NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett, California.
