"Media Invited to Witness NASA and Sierra Space's Spaceplane for Cargo Missions"
NASA and Sierra Space invite media to view the uncrewed commercial spaceplane, Dream Chaser, and its companion cargo module ahead of its first demonstration flight to the International Space Station in 2024. The event will showcase the spaceplane's environmental testing at NASA's Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Ohio, with officials providing insights into NASA's efforts to enable commercial industry and the unique capabilities of the test facility. The spaceplane and cargo module are undergoing testing for launch and re-entry vibrations, as part of NASA's Commercial Resupply Services-2 contract with Sierra Space to resupply the ISS and support the agency's goal of transitioning low Earth orbit to industry.
