Astronauts Have Begun Training For Dream Chaser’s Maiden Flight

Despite different delays, the first Dream Chaser mission is still coming up fast and with it are more frequent updates from the company. The first mission will see the spaceplane dock to the International Space Station and deliver a significant amount of cargo. However, this process requires a crew to board the spacecraft and at least know how to operate and navigate the various systems. Recently crews that will soon launch on the SpaceX Dragon got a crash course on the Dream Chaser cargo module. Here we got a much better idea of the interior and what we can expect to see on launch day. This comes in addition to more updates regarding Tenacity’s heat shield which has been a major focus of the company for a while now. If successful, there will be another option within the space industry for consistent cargo transport and future crew capability. Here I will go more in-depth into the recent Dream Chaser astronaut training, the interior of this spaceplane, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
