38:29Now PlayingVirgin Galactic is due to send its first commercial flight into space.
The spaceflight, dubbed the Galactic 01 by Sir Richard Branson's private space tourism company, will carry three crew members from the Italian Air Force and National Research Council of Italy along with an astronaut instructor from Virgin Galactic.
The 90-minute flight will be suborbital, which means it will reach the edge of space without going into orbit.
If this flight is successful, Sir Richard Branson's private space tourism company hopes to send tourists to space monthly from August.
