The intriguing spacecraft arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center last week in preparation for its maiden voyage to the International Space Station in September, having completed 'rigorous environmental testing' at the Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Ohio.
Dream Chaser is under contract with NASA to fly seven cargo missions to the ISS, a renewable alternative to SpaceX's Dragon cargo shuttle that can glide back through the atmosphere to land on any runway that's at least 10,000 feet in length.
Sierra Space is contemplating not just cargo but also human astronaut missions aboard the Dream Chaser, making space travel more accessible to a wider audience.
