NASA's New Space Plane Launch Was Cancelled! Biggest Mistake...
It happened!
NASA just canceled Sierra Space's Dream Chaser after a series of recent Boeing Starliner troubles on the ISS.
This Means Dream Chaser officially dropped from the second launch of ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket.
This alarms one more delay on the spaceplane.
But, is it the agonizing fall?
Are there any other chances for Dream Chaser?
What risks and opportunities does this change bring for both Sierra Space and ULA?
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
NASA's New Space Plane Launch Was Cancelled! Biggest Mistake...
After being imposed financial penalties by the US Air Force in May, United Launch Alliance admitted that it should not hold the Vulcan Centaur rocket on the ground any further.
The payload of the second Vulcan Centaur mission will be changed from Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser to an inert payload and instrumentation. Thanks to that, the Vulcan flight's launch date is now being scheduled for September, 1 month earlier than the previous ULA plan.
In May, the firm raised confidence it would launch the spaceplane by October but Sierra then announced that that schedule is risky for Dream.
"Sierra Space has shared that they are making excellent progress with Dream Chaser but have schedule risk to fly by that time." ULA tweeted.
Additionally, ULA's other big customer, Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation, also won't be ready to launch its first batch of operational satellites on a Vulcan rocket this fall. Because no other payloads could be ready for the September launch, a simulator is compulsory.
NASA's New Space Plane Launch Was Cancelled! Biggest Mistake...
For Sierra Space, the move relieves schedule pressure to some degree and allows them time to focus on ensuring that no stones are left unturned in the lead-up to Dream Chaser’s maiden spaceflight.
Given that the Tenacity spacecraft that will fly the mission is also planned to be re-used, it’s critical for Sierra to have a successful launch and landing of the spacecraft.
According to the latest updates on Dream Chaser's progress, the spaceplane has been undergoing final testing and prelaunch processing at Nasa’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, ahead of its launch scheduled for later this year.

NASA needs to understand how to use the Dragon versus Dreamchaser. They each have different designs and, as such, different capabilities. I believe the Dreamchaser should be used for all ISS personal transferes back and forth to Earth. Use Dragon as a more capable platfore for longer duration missions and advanced cargo delivery

@ghost307 Ай бұрын

And we will be stuck with legacy systems for decades, just as we are stuck with that weird offset docking module that's on the ISS. It was designed that way to accommodate one specific configuration of the shuttle, which flew that way exactly once, then was retired. Now all the new ships are stuck using a docking port with a dumb bend in it. Sierra will be fitted with an ISS docking ring, and when the ISS is scrapped, we will be stuck with that docking ring for every new station going forward even if something much better is available. Care to see a real-world example? Many years ago, there was a spreadsheet program named VisiCalc. Since every spreadsheet program has spent decades sprucing it up, renaming it, and selling the same original code, all of the VisiCalc command codes and function buttons work the same way in the latest and greatest version of Excel.

@chikes4862 Ай бұрын

If Starship starts working, all other rockets will become redundant, because no rocket can compete with launch prices. Unfortunately, Dream Chaser will be dragged along in this situation. And all this because of Ula and Boeing, who are there alone. the cause of his. NASA just doesn't want to lose face with the wrong choices. If a disaster happens to the crew and capsule that is now hanging on the ISS, then NASA has a big problem. It is said why not send a crew dragon to the ISS. I think that the suits of the two astronauts will not match the connections of crew dragon, so extra suits would have to be brought along, but those suits are custom made, so ??? big problem

To Launch Dream Chaser is costly over Dragon Heavy. Even if ULA can recover the main rocket and reuse, the faring and boosters are a $lose$. The idea is good for passengers to what ever station or work in space is needed but needs to be on recoverable and reusable rockets. We have more than enough junk in space today and these systems like Stare Link must be stopped.

NASA never needed a shuttle. What they needed was a heavy-lift vehicle and a small re-usable crew vehicle. Consider you own life. You needed a semi-truck to deliver the materials to the construction site, but do you drive the semi to work every day when building the building or do you only use the semi for the few times you need a huge delivery and use your car the rest of the time?
