Submission + - Dream over for the Dream Chaser spaceplane?
twosat writes: NASA has removed the much-delayed Dream Chaser spaceplane from its contract to purchase cargo resupply flights to the International Space Station. Instead of being "berthed" (semi-permanently attached) to the ISS with the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm, the first flight in late 2026 will be a free-flying demonstration. If the demonstrator flight is successful, then NASA will decide whether to order any cargo flights at all. Dream Chaser's developer, Sierra Space, might have to find other customers to use the Dream Chaser if NASA doesn't agree to purchasing ISS cargo resupply missions again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
