Virgin Galactic will fly to space for the first time in nearly two years later this month, if all goes according to plan.

The company announced today (May 8) that it's targeting late May(opens in new tab) for Unity 25, its fifth-ever spaceflight and first since July 2021, when Virgin Group founder Richard Branson went aloft with three other passengers.

Like Virgin Galactic's four previous spaceflights, the coming mission will be a test — but it's expected to be the last such trial.
