The Dream Chaser spacecraft is a multi-mission space utility vehicle designed for transporting crew and cargo to low-Earth orbit (LEO) destinations such as the International Space Station (ISS). Dream Chaser features include:

• Lifting-body spacecraft • Autonomous launch, flight & landing capabilities • 15 + times reusability • Low, 1.5 g • Gentle runway landing compatible with runways worldwide • Immediate access to crew or cargo upon landing • All non-toxic consumables, including propellants

Dream Chaser Cargo System

In 2016, NASA selected our Dream Chaser Cargo System to provide cargo delivery, return and disposal service for the ISS under the Commercial Resupply Service 2 (CRS2) contract. Dream Chaser can carry up to 5,500 kg of pressurized and unpressurized cargo and will provide a minimum of six cargo missions to and from the ISS between 2019 and 2024.

Dream Chaser Space System Dream Chaser was originally designed as a manned spacecraft, capable of Dream Chaser Alternate carrying up to seven astronauts to and from the ISS. The crewed Dream Chaser was developed in part under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, and has Mission Solutions environmental control and life support, windows for crew visibility, and an integral main propulsion system for abort capability and major orbital maneuvers. The Dream Chaser spacecraft is a multi-mission vehicle that can support a variety of LEO needs. Dream Chaser can be customized for both domestic and international customers through vehicle configuration, launch site, destination, landing site, duration and a host of other variables. We have entered into several agreements with multiple international space agencies and together we are developing technologies, applications and missions for Dream Chaser-based space systems.

Science Microgravity laboratory for on-orbit science

Observation Remote sensing for Earth and space imaging and observation

Manufacturing Unique microgravity manufacturing and production

Servicing Satellite servicing, deployment, assembly, retrieval, deorbit and propellant transfer

Credit: NASA As SNC advances Dream Chaser for CRS2 and other missions, we are inspired by the legacy of the and the 135 missions that came before us. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with NASA centers nationwide, leveraging 40 years of space shuttle heritage. This partnership allows us to benefit from NASA’s expertise in the further development of Dream Chaser. We look forward to contributing to America’s leadership in spaceflight and carrying the torch forward.
