At a March 31 media event, SNC officials described their space station concepts, as well as the company’s intent to participate in NASA’s new Commercial LEO Destinations program, which will provide funding through Space Act Agreements to mature commercial space station designs.[...]Ozmen, in her memo, described the company’s role in creating a “vibrant low-Earth orbit economy” with Dream Chaser and that commercial space station, along with the use of LIFE modules for exploration and other technologies SNC has developed.
Join us live from Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility at 10:30 ET as we make a special announcement with @SierraNevCorp https://vimeo.com/event/945191/videos/544610227/e6d50d3697
We’re ready to make history with @SpaceFlorida! We will be using their Launch & Landing Facility to land the Dream Chaser spaceplane there during CRS-2 missions. This will be its first runway landing since @NASA’s shuttle program ended a decade ago!
1) We've known Dream Chaser was planning to land at KSC's SLF since at least 2015. 2) Many aircraft and spacecraft landings have happened at SLF runway since the space shuttles retired.Can anyone tell me what the point of this press briefing is?
Dream Chaser is bouncing around in excitement at being at the KSC SLF........because it's an inflatable mock-up.
Sierra Space starts its journey TODAY! If you’re looking for updates on the Dream Chaser® spaceplane, our involvement on @NASA satellites or our commercial space station, follow this account! We’re on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn & Instagram!
I've requested mods to see if the forum section (SNC Dream Chaser Section) should be changed to Sierra Space. Thanks for the post above.

Sierra Space signs Dream Chaser agreement with British spaceportby Jeff Foust — June 9, 2021WASHINGTON — Sierra Space, the new space subsidiary of Sierra Nevada Corporation, announced June 9 that it signed an initial agreement with a British spaceport that could lead to landings of the company’s Dream Chaser vehicle there.[…]The MOU is not a final agreement regarding hosting Dream Chaser at the spaceport. Instead, Sierra Space said it will lead to more detailed studies “for potentially naming Spaceport Cornwall as an approved orbital return location for the company’s Dream Chaser spaceplane missions in the future.”
#ICYMI @SierraSpaceCo successfully completed the entire installation of the Passive Common Berthing Mechanism to the Shooting Star™ service module! Now, it has everything it needs to successfully berth to the International Space Station. Read more here bit.ly/3xh0eX8
We’re celebrating National Aviation Day with the Dream Chaser® spaceplane! While an astronaut can pilot Dream Chaser, our spaceplane doesn’t actually need a pilot. Learn how it’ll take flight during its first mission to the @Space_Station next year bit.ly/2WaGDuL
We may not be sending humans to space (YET!) but plenty get to go inside our Dream Chaser® spaceplane as we build it. Here, a tech installs shelving for the avionic computers that control Dream Chaser during flight.
