With #Tenacity in a payload fairing, it will sit on top of the rocket which will help protect the vehicle from #debris. #SierraSpace’s #crewed 👨‍🚀 #SpacePlane variant will be launched in a similar configuration but without a fairing, which will still offer protection from debris since the #rocket will be located below the vehicle. https://www.sierraspace.com/newsroom/blog/dream-chaser-vs-space-shuttle

Private Dream Chaser space plane's 1st launch slips to December: report

The vehicle is delayed, and its rocket ride just suffered an anomaly in its upper stage during testing.

One of NASA's commercial cargo spacecraft will delay its first launch by nearly half a year.

Sierra Space's Dream Chaser will see its first mission to the International Space Station no earlier than December, a five-month delay from August.

The shuttle-shaped Dream Chaser's ride to space will be a new booster from United Launch Alliance called Vulcan, and it is designed to touch down on a conventional runway at the end of each mission.

📆 2 Mar, 2023 #DreamChaser will provide a minimum of seven cargo 📦 service missions to and from the #ISS. #SierraSpace has entered into agreements with multiple international #SpaceAgencies. There's a growing list of compatible runways worldwide where the #DreamChaser could land 🛬 : #SpaceportAmerica, #KennedySpaceCenter, #Huntsville, #OitaAirport 🇯🇵, #SpaceportCornwall 🇬🇧. The first launch depends on the progress of #ULA’s #Vulcan 🚀. https://thespacebucket.com/is-dream-chaser-tenacity-on-track-to-launch-in-2023
