Over a decade ago, the Space Shuttle was one of the most prominent spacecraft with a total of over 100 missions. While by no means perfect, it’s responsible for a lot of the space infrastructure in use today from the Hubble Telescope to the International Space Station. Today, however, we are only a few months away from a new modern spaceplane expected to alter space access.
Dream Chaser Tenacity has been undergoing development and testing for years now and its set to lift off in only months. Taking a closer look at the vehicle’s design and interior highlights a long list of differences from the past Space Shuttle. From altered heat shield tiles, general size, vehicle compatibility, and mission profile, we haven’t quite seen a vehicle like it yet. Here I will go more in-depth into the vehicle’s internal design, its unique features, upcoming launch, and more.
