Virgin Galactic's first commercial spaceflight, Galactic-01, will support the Italian Air Force and National Research Council's space research mission, Virtute 1.

The crew includes Col. Walter Villadei, Lt. Col. Angelo Landolfi, Pantaleone Carlucci and Colin Bennett. Piloting Unity will be Mike Masucci and Nicola Pecile.

Virgin Galactic has not yet released a Galactic-01 patch (if one even exists) but the Italian Air Force has shared and the crew has worn a Virtute-1 mission patch.
