		</div><p>Virgin Galactic says it has received an operating licence for its space tourism rocket from the Federal Aviation Administration.</p>
<p>It says the operating licence awarded by the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation will ultimately permit commercial operations.</p>
<p>The company said the licensing process involved a review of the system’s design, safety analysis and flight trajectory analysis.</p>
<p>Virgin Galatic’s first spaceship broke apart in 2014 during its fourth rocket-powered test flight when the co-pilot prematurely unlocked a key system.</p>
<p>The second version of the company’s SpaceShipTwo was unveiled in February.</p>
<p>The first taxi test of the new spacecraft took place on Monday morning at the Mojave, California, airport.</p>
<p>The taxi test evaluated and calibrated navigation and communications telemetry systems as it was pulled by an off-road vehicle.</p>
<p>Described as ‘the world’s first commercial spaceline’, Virgin Galactic wants to make space more accessible to more people.<br />
Who knows, maybe one day taking a spaceship into the atmosphere will be as easy as booking at European flight?</p>
