“Our tranche of spaceflight expeditions priced at $750,000 was oversubscribed and booked out ahead of schedule, demonstrating strong demand from a wide range of customers. We expect to release a new tranche of spaceflight expeditions at higher price points this fall,” said CEO **Michael Colglazier**.

“Our first ship is now expected to enter commercial service in February 2027 rather than the fourth quarter of 2026, allowing additional time to complete avionics and systems installations. We expect to commence the flight test phase with this vehicle in October, and with our second spaceship planned to join the fleet in March 2027, we expect to deliver positive quarterly cash flow within 2027,” Colglazier added.

**SPCE Stock Price Activity:** According to data from Benzinga Pro, Virgin Galactic stock was down 14.55% to $2.82 in Wednesday’s extended trading.
