NgoMgqibelo ekuseni, indiza enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, iSttolaunch, yandiza okokuqala. Umshini, onesisindo esicishe sibe amathani angama-227 futhi unamaphiko angamamitha ayi-117, usuke cishe ngo-17:00 ngesikhathi sase-Moscow eMojave Air and Space Port eCalifornia, e-USA. Indiza yokuqala yathatha cishe amahora amabili nesigamu futhi yaphela ngokufika ngempumelelo cishe ngo-19:30 ngesikhathi saseMoscow.
Ukwethulwa kuza ngemuva kwezinyanga ezintathu nje iSttolaunch Systems, eyakhiwe indiza iScaled Composites, yadiliza abasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-50 futhi yayeka nokuzama ukuzakhela amarokhethi ayo. Ushintsho ezinhlelweni lwadalwa ukushona komsunguli weMicrosoft uPaul Allen, owasungula iSttolaunch Systems ngo-2011.

Ngefuselage ephindwe kabili, iSttolaunch yakhelwe ukundiza endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-10, lapho ingakhulula amarokhethi asemkhathini angase asebenzise izinjini zawo ukungena emzileni ozungeza umhlaba. ISttolaunch Systems isivele ineklayenti okungenani elilodwa, i-Orbital ATK (manje eyingxenye yeNorthrop Grumman), ehlela ukusebenzisa iSttolaunch ukuthumela irokhethi yayo ye-Pegasus XL emkhathini.

Ngaphambi kokwethulwa kwanamuhla, indiza ibike yahlolwa ezinye izivivinyo ezengeziwe eminyakeni embalwa edlule, okuhlanganisa nokundiza kwayo okokuqala ngaphandle kokuhlolwa kwe-hangar nenjini ngo-2017, kanye nokuhlolwa okuningana kumzila wezindiza waseMojave ngesivinini esihlukahlukene esikhathini esidlule. iminyaka emibili.
