Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit has failed to take off after being deemed a promising satellite-launch startup. The business made a big bet on using Boeing 747s to launch satellites into space, but that bet hasn’t paid off.
The company filed for bankruptcy in April, after launch issues and a changing satellite market caught up with it. WSJ explains what led to the Virgin Galactic spinoff’s collapse.
