SNC Pressure Test Article Arrival

Sierra Nevada Corporation’s (SNC) Dream Chaser pressure test article arrives by flatbed truck at the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 3, 2020, from Louisville, Colorado. The test article is similar to the actual pressurized cabin being used in the Dream Chaser spaceplane for Commercial Resupply Services-2 (CRS-2) missions. NASA selected Dream Chaser to provide cargo delivery, return and disposal service for the International Space Station under the CRS-2 contract. The test article will remain at Kennedy while SNC engineers use it to develop and verify refurbishment operations that will be used on Dream Chaser between flights.
