As a new space vehicle, Casares said the big thing for Dream Chaser is to find whatever market it can that will help it establish a frequent and safe rhythm of launches. “If Sierra Nevada can launch and land safely dozens of times over the next few years, NASA will take notice,” he said. The success of Dream Chaser, TOGETHER = HEALTHY whether it comes via the Global Proj- ect or NASA or a combination of both, is important to Colorado’s econ- omy. SNC, headquartered in Nevada, is a $2 billion per year company. It doesn’t disclose the revenue of Space Systems separately, but SNC employs 1,100 people between its two loca- tions in Centennial and Louisville. Three-hundred of those are in Louis- ville, and that’s after 90 were laid off in the wake of NASA’s Commercial Crew decision. While Lockheed Martin will build the composite structure for Dream Chaser out of state, design, assembly and systems testing will all be done in Colorado. In addition to Dream Chaser, SNC launched six satellites for a company called ORBCOM over the summer and is due to launch 11 more by this time next year. SNC has also had a hand in things like the Mars rovers and the New Horizons mission that will do a fly-by of Pluto next summer.

By Sally McGrath Special to BizWest
BOULDER — A 110-year-old, run-down stone cottage in North Boulder is now a first- class model of a sustainable “green” home and one of the few residential buildings in the country to be awarded LEED Platinum certification. Property owner Bob Carmichael and a team of “green” specialists, have transformed the 900-square- foot cottage in the Newlands neigh- borhood into a 3,200-square-foot house that includes living space, a professional studio where Carmi- chael works, and a rental apartment. Carmichael’s enthusiasm for what he’s achieved is infectious, and he hopes that other residential property owners will follow in his footsteps. He describes the house Courtesy Bob Carmichael as “one of the most energy efficient homes in America” although no This cottage is one of an elite group of private homes nationwide to win the coveted LEEDS certification for energy efficiency. documentation is available proving that claim.
