SpaceShipOne re-entry
SpaceShipOne private spacecraft. Image 3 of 3. Computer artwork of SpaceShipOne re-entering the Earths atmosphere. The design allows the wings to pivot, forming the correct alignment. SpaceShipOne successfully launched into space on 21 June 2004, the first time a privately funded spacecraft had done so. It was piloted by Mike Melvill. After being carried up a few kilometres, a rocket blast took it to a sub-orbital level at 100 kilometres altitude. After a few minutes in space, it re- entered the atmosphere and glided back to Earth. The design company is Scaled Composites. N328KF is the crafts US aviation registration number.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring moment of SpaceShipOne re-entering Earth's atmosphere. In this computer artwork, we witness the remarkable design of the private spacecraft as its wings pivot to form the perfect alignment for a safe return. This historic event took place on 21 June 2004, marking the first time a privately funded spacecraft had ever launched into space. Piloted by Mike Melvill, SpaceShipOne embarked on an extraordinary journey after being carried up several kilometers. With a powerful rocket blast, it soared to a sub-orbital level at an altitude of 100 kilometers before venturing into space for a few breathtaking minutes. The craft then gracefully descended back through the atmosphere and glided back home. The genius behind this groundbreaking engineering marvel lies with Scaled Composites, who meticulously crafted every detail of SpaceShipOne's design. Its US aviation registration number is N328KF, symbolizing its significance in American aerospace history. This image not only represents technological advancement but also embodies human ambition and determination to explore new frontiers beyond our planet's boundaries. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation in both commercial and scientific realms. As we gaze upon this stunning illustration, we are reminded that within our reach lies infinite possibilities waiting to be discovered in the vast expanse of space.
