The Virgil was a spacecraft developed by the Space Defence Centre, as a successor to the ill-fated XK-5 space freighter. In 2020, it was the most sophisticated and successful British spacecraft ever built.
Capabilities
It was a two-stage reusable vehicle with medium lift. When launched, it was the lift stage could seperate from the main craft and independently land vertically, whilst the three-man probe itself was able to re-enter the atmosphere after lift-off and be landed like any conventional aircraft.
