Sierra Space's Dream Chaser: NASA's New Resupply Spacecraft

NASA and Sierra Space are preparing for the first flight of the Dream Chaser spacecraft, an uncrewed cargo spaceplane, to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2024. The Dream Chaser system, consisting of the reusable spacecraft and the Shooting Star cargo module, will be launched aboard a ULA Vulcan Centaur rocket. The mission will include in-orbit demonstrations to certify the spacecraft for future missions, and Dream Chaser is designed to deliver cargo to the ISS and return with experiment samples and trash. It will be the first spacecraft to land at Kennedy's Launch and Landing Facility since the final space shuttle flight in 2011.
