Sierra Space's Dream Chaser Set for Inaugural Launch After Extensive Testing

The Dream Chaser spaceplane completes a rigorous series of tests and prepares for its first mission to the ISS from Florida later this year.

Dream Chaser, developed by Sierra Space, has undergone shock, vibration, and thermal vacuum tests at NASA’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility.
The spacecraft, named Tenacity, will conduct its first of seven planned resupply missions to the International Space Station.
Final preparations include acoustic and electromagnetic testing at Kennedy Space Center before its launch atop ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket.
Sierra Space aims to transition from development to regular orbital operations, marking a significant milestone in commercial spaceflight.
The company also plans to develop a crewed version of the Dream Chaser in the future.
