Artist's conception of what?
Answer: This is Virgin Galactic's "White Knight Two" carrying "Spaceship Two". The spaceship in the middle will be launched from the plane at an altitude of 50,000 feet and will climb to an altitude of around 110 km.

Iam, Adi (who in fact gives the precise phrase that needs to be googled for the answer), Raghu, Mekhala, QoD, Trevor Burnham, an anon and Divya got it. Well done.
