TSC, also known as The Spaceship Company, is a new aerospace production company, founded by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group and Scaled Composites, which will be building the world's first fleet of commercial spaceships and launch aircraft intended to make widespread space travel a reality.

TSC has contracted Scaled Composites to develop and build prototypes of WK2 and SS2 and TSC is now taking these prototypes into commercial production. TSC’s launch customer is Virgin Galactic which is on track to become the world's first private "spaceline."
