The launch company said it filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware to provide a "swift conclusion" to a sale process after failing to find financing in recent weeks. Virgin Orbit lined up $31.6 million in debtor-in-possession financing from Virgin Investments Limited, which has previously provided more than $70 million in loans to the company.
