My comment:
(1) VOA Chinese places the news in the category of 科学技术. I decide to put
it in this board.
(2) Please take notice that both VSS Enterprise and VSS Voyager are of
SpaceShipTwo class.
(3) Here is the URL of Virgin Galactic. (The "galactic" is the adjective for
the noun "galaxy.")

(a) Front and central is the press release: VSS Enterprise's first 'captive
carry' flight! Mar. 22, 2010.
I just introduced the term "captive carry" in 美军筹划高超音速飞行器 dated
Mar. 20, 2010. You can also find it at Wikipedia.
(b) Please check the horizontal bar of the home page for the buttons of:
(i) "OVERVIEW": In this new page, click "Safety," "Spaceships" and "
Spaceport."
The VOA report states, "在大气层边缘停留4分钟之后，维珍企业号开始落回地球，
而两侧原本高耸的机翼，则会向后旋转，辅助飞行，最后降落到地面上。" If you
view the illustrations--there are two, at the top and bottom of the web page
--you will comprehend.
