Bio
Galactic 03 launched on September 8, 2023 aboard VSS Unity, with Nash serving as Private Astronaut.
Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo system is carried aloft by a mothership, released for a rocket-powered suborbital climb, and flown back to a runway landing. Timothy Nash therefore has 1 completed spaceflight; backup, training, canceled, and future assignments are excluded from that total. The mission connected Nash's professional experience with direct work aboard a crewed spacecraft and a completed flight assignment. The flight converted that professional background into direct experience of launch, weightlessness, Earth viewing, , and recovery. The flight converted that professional background into direct experience of launch, weightlessness, Earth viewing, reentry, and recovery.
