Stratolaunch has welcomed home the newest addition to their air launch fleet, The Spirit of Mojave.
The modified 747 was named by the Stratolaunch employees as a tribute to the passion of the Mojave aerospace community that has built and tested some of the world’s most unique aircraft.
The aircraft will spend a small amount of time on the ground to receive modifications for its new mission and is expected to be operational in the first half of 2024.
