"Sierra Space Unveils Star Wars-Inspired Spaceplane to Challenge SpaceX"
Sierra Space is gearing up to compete with SpaceX and Blue Origin with its sleek Tenacity spaceplane, a space-ready version of the Dream Chaser ship. The 55-foot craft is undergoing final testing to prove its readiness for launch atop a United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket and subsequent return to Earth. If successful, it could soon embark on an unmanned mission to the International Space Station, potentially paving the way for future space missions and construction of new space stations.
