"TANDEM TESTING - White Knight, with the red trim, carries SpaceShipOne, with the blue trim during a test run at Mojave Airport. SpaceShipOne is designed to launch from the White Knight, then use a rocket engine to boost it to 100 kilometers - 62.5 miles - above the Earth. The spacecraft will then descend to a runway landing, much like a glider."Scaled Composites 1 posted on
