Dream Chaser completed, ready for its first launch & future propulsion that makes NASA crazily...
"Plunging into the ocean is awful, landing on a runway is really nice," affirmed the CEO of Sierra Space before the public.
Yes, and in reality, that statement is absolutely true!
Who wouldn't want the return journey from space to feel like sitting on a plane that lands gently?
And that seems to be on the verge of becoming a reality as Dream Chaser - Sierra Space's most precious gem after over a decade of development and overcoming many events causing delays, is finally taking a significant step towards the first launch of its life.
The spaceplane is back!
All will be revealed in today's episode of Alpha Tech!

That ship is going to get shot into a wormhole and lost in a distant part of the universe. The pilot will take refuge on a living ship full of strange alien life forms and chased by an insane military commander. They'll be emotionally torn that if they go back someone might follow them to an unprepared earth but if they stay we will never know the wonders they have seen. *cue crazy music*

Well produced and informative piece. I would have liked some additional information on the Shooting Star cargo module, and the modularity it encompasses, like the inflatable habitat. I would also like more insight into the economical benefits of the Dream Chaser´s runway landing vs the sea recovery of a Dragon module, as it´s obviously a cheaper form of operation, but at the cost of higher complexity and thus cost, I assume...

@Tinman_56 5 месяцев назад

I really like dreamchaser and its (good parts) similarities to the Space Shuttle as well as the X-37B, however it may be grounded more than flying until such time as a new space station is operational while the ISS is being decommissioned over the next 7 years and until more launch vehicles become available to launch it often. What we need are MORE moon destined spacecraft to be built commercially since we can not completely count on Artemis, unfortunately 😢

What is up with that weird front landing gear. Does it just have a strip of something on it that gets ground off on landing and replaced every time before launch? Why not just have a regular wheel?

@kennethwers 6 месяцев назад

Space rated tires are way more expensive than replacing that skid plate. The skid plate weighs less and takes up very little space. The arm is covered with heat tiles without the need for doors. Seem to me a very good way to go as the skid plate is only on the ground for a short time during the landing.

@gregoryblajian8951 6 месяцев назад

I am curious just what the expected turn around time and re-usability costs are for Dream Chaser. A runway landing is nice, but if it is as costly as the shuttle to actually operate that seems like a tremendous waste of MY money!!! The shuttle was awe inspiring to watch launch and land but at $100's millions to $1 billion+ for each launch it wasted more funds than the average citizen in the US could even comprehend. I'll take the slightly bumpier ride on one of SpaceX's ships if it costs $1 million per ride/launch than a smoother ride on Dream Chaser at $10-$100 miliion per ride/launch. That is just common sense.

@jerryhadler8835 6 месяцев назад

@brianw612 6 месяцев назад

A skid is a lot simpler and lighter. It also eliminates a brake for a wheel and induces drag slowing the vehicle. There are many more advantages, like not having to maintain that nose wheel temperature and eliminating the risk of bursting. I believe they refer to it as a friction pad.

Well I listened. What is the added value that Dream Chaser brings to the near future, and how does it further enhance LEO space industry launch economics? I see just another larger X37B that has been flying a long long time while Dream Chaser chases a corporate dream of a project to chase NASA public taxpayer money into a private company's bank account / make work program. I wonder if the ISS will still be in orbit before Dream Chaser is able to finish a pitiful few six operational flights for all the public funding aka tax dollars spent? I see Dream Chaser as a concept in search of a reason to exist past gobbling up NASA public research funding for a service SpaceX already supplies to NASA at a lower cost. Just more fiery pink plasma gas lighting here. Nothing more.
