VOX Space is a US aerospace company and wholly owned subsidiary of Virgin Orbit . It is the LauncherOne - launcher market of the company for US authorities and allies whose satellite are confidential. VOX Space is led by Mandy Vaughn, the previous director of business development at Virgin Orbit.
Starts in low earth orbit are offered for payloads with a weight of up to 500 kg - this corresponds to comparatively small satellites. These launches should, however, be offered at very reasonable prices. In addition, VOX Space offers a high degree of flexibility, since the LauncherOne launcher is to be launched from an aircraft and thus different launch sites are possible. The US Air Force has already booked a flight as part of its Space Test Program .
