"Scaled Composites, the company behind the first private manned spacecraft, will launch it into space on 21 June carrying an as yet unnamed astronaut.

SpaceShipOne is built by aerospace pioneer Burt Rutan who hopes to win the Ansari X-prize of $10m (�5.7m) for the first private flight into space.

The craft has to reach an altitude of 100km (329,000ft) twice in two weeks to win.

A total of 25 other teams across the world are competing for the prize."
