Sierra Nevada Corporation Dream Chaser

[Endeavor35]

My first ever add on for Celestia, and hopefully not the last.

An indirect descendant of the HL-20 spacecraft project by NASA, Dream Chaser is one of several spacecraft being developed by various companies as part of the Commercial Crew Development Program created by NASA back in 2011. Though it has yet to go to space, it is hoped that the unmanned cargo version of Dream Chaser will be ready for launch sometime in 2022. When it does, the spacecraft will ride into orbit on top of United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan rocket. However, it is also possible for Dream Chaser to be launched on both ESA’s Ariane 5, as well as a human rated version of the Atlas 412 rocket.
