Meet Apeiron, Virgin Galactic's 1st 'Delta-class' space plane

Virgin Galactic today revealed Apeiron as the name of its inaugural “Delta-class” spaceplane, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commercial spaceflight ambitions. The aircraft represents the initial design within Virgin Galactic’s new Delta series, intended for suborbital tourism missions. Following a global poll involving over 340,000 participants, the name Apeiron—derived from Greek philosophy signifying ‘boundless’ or ‘infinite’—secured victory. This selection underscores the public's enthusiasm and anticipation surrounding Virgin Galactic’s ventures into space travel. Production of the space plane is currently underway at the Mojave Air & Space Port in California.
