Private spaceflight |accessdate=2007-12-20 |publisher="The Economist" |date=18 December 2004] is to be the second ship built and used as part of the Virgin Galactic Fleet. It is a SpaceShipTwo-class suborbital manned spaceplane. Like its sister craft, VSS "Enterprise", it shares its name with both a fictitious Star Trek starship (USS "Voyager") and a real NASA spacecraft ("Voyager").

The design's first mother ship (WhiteKnightTwo) is named VMS "Eve", and the second is expected to be named VMS "Spirit of Steve Fossett", in honour of Steve Fossett. [cite web
