Virgin Galactic took another step on Tuesday toward beginning commercial operations with its latest test flight, only 54 days after its first went supersonic.

Richard Branson's space tourism company completed the second rocket-powered flight of its Unity spacecraft — launching and landing from the Mojave Air and Space Port in the California desert. Virgin Galactic said in a tweet that the company hoped to test a critical system for commercial flights.
