"Commercial Spaceplane Set to Soar: Dream Chaser's Journey from Colorado to Ohio"
Sierra Space's Dream Chaser spaceplane, the first commercial spaceplane capable of orbital flight, is nearing completion and will soon undergo tests to prove its spaceflight capabilities. The spacecraft, designed to ferry cargo to and from the International Space Station, features foldable wings, a composite structure with ceramic tiles for heat protection during reentry, and a pressurized compartment for astronauts. Sierra Space aims to revolutionize space travel with the Dream Chaser, offering a gentle ride back to Earth for cargo and the ability to land on a runway, providing easier access to experiment results.
