NASA's New Space Plane in BIG TROUBLE! Here's Why
Starliner is stuck in orbit after many years of delays. That might be a lesson for all new vehicles, the most prominent of which soon is Dream Chaser.
However, unfortunately, after years of development, Dream Chaser not only has not yet flown into orbit but also continues to delay its launch schedule since 2021.
So, why was Dream Chaser delayed? How did NASA react to this? Will the spaceplane follow in the 'mistakes' of Boeing Starliner?
Stay tuned as we dive and more in this episode of Alpha Tech!
NASA's New Space Plane in BIG TROUBLE! Here's Why
The longawaited debut of a winged space plane will have to wait a little longer. During a recent conference call with reporters, United Launch Alliance CEO Tony Bruno announced that Sierra Space's Dream Chaser would not have its first launch this year.
Why was Tony Bruno making this announcement instead of Tom Vice, CEO of Sierra Space, who usually provides the latest updates on Dream Chaser?
Well, it seems that ULA's new Vulcan rocket is in a hurry, but Dream Chaser is not keeping up with the urgency of its partner company. Dream Chaser had been scheduled to launch on the second test flight of ULA's Vulcan rocket for the past five years.
NASA's New Space Plane in BIG TROUBLE! Here's Why
With Vulcan's nearly perfect inaugural flight in January and if the second flight succeeds later this year, ULA's Vulcan will be certified by the U.S. Space Force to launch the military's most sensitive national security satellites into orbit.
This is also very important for ULA since their Atlas V, serving the U.S. military, is no longer in production, while SpaceX is almost dominating the launch market. If ULA wants to regain its position, its new Vulcan rocket must accelerate its launch cadence in the near future.
