Decades ago the Space Shuttle managed to become a key spacecraft responsible for increasing access to space and helping construct low Earth orbit infrastructure still in use today. While by no means the same, Dream Chaser and Sierra Space have taken note of the Shuttle and tried to improve on the downfalls of the past spaceplane.
Right now, Dream Chaser Tenacity is getting closer to its first ever launch scheduled in the third quarter of 2023. Just a few days ago, we learned more about this next generation spacecraft’s propulsion system, and exactly how it plans to maneuver once in space. Not to mention more details regarding its main engines and the launch process.
All of which an important aspect of the Dream Chaser design and what it hopes to accomplish in the coming years. If successful, this vehicle could once again change how we access space, and provide some unique services that we haven’t seen since the Shuttle. Here I will go more in-depth into the new propulsion updates, Tenacity’s current schedule and progress, what to expect in the future, and more.
