TL;DR Summary

Sierra Space's Dream Chaser, one of NASA's commercial cargo spacecraft, will delay its first launch to the International Space Station until December, a five-month delay from August, due to unknown reasons. The spacecraft will be launched using a new booster from United Launch Alliance called Vulcan. Vulcan is also facing development issues of its own ahead of flying the two certification missions. This will leave NASA with a single operational rocket type that supplies cargo vehicles: The SpaceX Falcon 9.
