The vehicle could make its first flight to space as soon as next spring.
Rod Stewart’s Old Ferrari F50 Could Fetch Over $3 Million at AuctionThe Colorado-based aerospace company has pulled back the curtain on the first completed example of its Dream Chaser space plane. The vehicle will now undergo rigorous testing before it’s ready to be used to ferry cargo between Earth and the International Space Station .
The first member of the Dream Chaser fleet is named Tenacity. The winged vehicle’s space shuttle-like design can withstand reentry temperatures of over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and then be cool to the touch within minutes of landing,. It also features an autonomous flight system good for at least 15 space missions and can reduce reentry acceleration to 1.5 g to protect fragile cargo when needed.
Once the Dream Chaser has passed all required tests with flying colors it will be shipped to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, according to Space.com. Should everything go to plan, the craft could make its first flight to space atop the United Launch Alliance Vulcan Centaur rocket as early as April of next year.
