 |  US grounds Virgin Galactic after space flight ’mishap’
 3 September 2021
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Thursday said it was grounding space
flights by Virgin Galactic while it investigates why the company’s July 11 voyage carrying
Richard Branson deviated from its planned trajectory. The move represents a blow to the
private space company as it prepares to carry paying customers following its first fully-
crewed test flight.
