Nasa charters three suborbital flights on Virgin Galactic for space science

Nasa charters three suborbital flights on Virgin Galactic for space science: Space tourism pioneer Virgin Galactic has inked a contract worth upwards of $4.5 million (£2.9 million) with Nasa, so the space agency can take charter flights on its privately-built spacecraft SpaceShipTwo for experiments in suborbital space.
