Edwards, Calif. – ED-0155-03 - NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden flies the Sierra Nevada Corporation, or SNC, Dream Chaser simulator at the agency's Dryden Flight Research Center. Marlin Pickett, a simulation engineer at Dryden, left, and Steve Lindsey, SNC's director of flight operations and former space shuttle astronaut, give Bolden pointers for landing the simulated vehicle. SNC is on track to perform development work on its Dream Chaser flight test vehicle in collaboration with NASA's Commercial Crew Program, or CCP, at Dryden in the coming months. SNC is one of three companies working with CCP during the agency's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability, or CCiCap, initiative, which is intended to lead to the availability of commercial human spaceflight services for government and commercial customers.
