When will the Delta spacecraft fly and what is its status?

In 2026, Dr Norah Patten will become the first Irish person in space. Joining her on that mission is crewmate Dr Shawna Pandya where they will complete a research mission and travel on-board the Virgin Galactic's commercial spacecraft Delta. 

The two astronauts have taken time out of their busy schedule as they prepare for this mission to chat to Pat this morning.
