What is Cosmic Girl?
[[File:Cosmic Girl and LauncherOne on the way out to Sea (50846763897) (cropped).jpg|thumb|''Cosmic Girl'' is a mother ship that can carry at least one [[LauncherOne]] [[launch vehicle]]s. (The picture shows a LauncherOne under the left wing of the mother ship - between the [[fuselage]] and a [[jet engine]].)]] ''Cosmic Girl'' is a Boeing 747-400 aircraft. After the bankruptcy (2023) of [[Virgin Orbit]], the airplane was sold to [[Stratolaunch]]. It is used as part of the [[Roc]] launch platform. It was bought by [[Virgin Galactic]] in 2015. When a [[LauncherOne]] launches from ''Cosmic Girl'' at high altitude, then that rocket can put a [[small satellite]] up to 300 kg (660 lb) (see [[satellite]]) payload into orbit. {{stub}} {{Virgin Galactic}} [[Category:Individual aircraft]] [[Category:Boeing 747]] [[Category:Virgin Galactic]]
