"Dream Chaser: Sierra Space's New Spaceplane Prepares for Historic Flight"

Sierra Space's Dream Chaser undergoes successful testing at NASA's Neil Armstrong Test Facility, preparing for its first flight to the International Space Station in 2024. The vehicle, equipped with a cargo module capable of carrying 9,000 pounds of cargo, will join NASA's Commercial Resupply Services program, offering down mass capability to return science experiments and research samples back to Earth. Sierra Space plans to conduct multiple flights with the potential for global launch and landing locations, marking the beginning of what they call the "orbital age" of commercializing low-Earth orbit.
