"Dream Chaser: NASA's Reusable Spaceplane Triumph"

Sierra Space's Dream Chaser spaceplane, named Tenacity, is set to make its first trip to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of NASA's Commercial Resupply Services 2 contract. The unmanned craft, designed for cargo missions, will deliver 12,000 pounds of supplies and equipment to the ISS. Unlike the space shuttles, the smaller and more versatile Tenacity will launch aboard United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket and land at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida, allowing for quicker access to cargo.
