TL;DR
Three aerospace companies, Rocket Lab, Stratolaunch, and Vast, have won the bankruptcy auction for most of the assets of launch company Virgin Orbit, including manufacturing facilities and its Boeing 747 aircraft. The auction results rule out any attempt to keep the company intact and bring it out of bankruptcy under new ownership. Virgin Orbit said it would cease operations after completing the sale of the assets.
