A completed Dream Chaser
On November 2, Sierra Space unveiled its much-anticipated Dream Chaser spaceplane. Named Tenacity, this first-of-its-kind vehicle, now complete, is scheduled to be sent to NASA’s Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility in Ohio for a series of key tests in preparation for launch.
Dream Chaser is a significant advancement in space technology, being the only commercial orbital spaceplane capable of landing on a runway. Backed by a NASA contract for resupplying the International Space Station, Dream Chaser represents a novel way to access space. For its inaugural mission, Tenacity will ride atop United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket, which is scheduled to debut in April 2024.
