The FAA is investigating Virgin Galactic's July flight due to a deviation from its planned trajectory. The SpaceShipTwo veered off its authorized air traffic control path while returning to its base in New Mexico. Virgin Galactic, led by Richard Branson, aims to pioneer space tourism but faces setbacks due to this investigation. The trajectory issue posed a risk to the return phase, with pilots encountering warning lights indicating a shallow ascent. Corrective actions were necessary to ensure a safe landing.
