The Oct. 31, 2014 fatal loss of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo was likely a result of the co-pilot prematurely unlocking the craft’s feather system and the failure of the ship’s designer to consider and protect against “a single human error,” investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board reported on Tuesday (July 28). The NTSB recommended additional oversight for all commercial sub-orbital spaceflight operators, but found no problems with SpaceShipTwo’s design or systems.
