Nasa revealed what Inside Dream Chaser better than the Dragon & Starliner...
It's hard to believe that Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser, the mini version of the Shuttle virtually ready to go after a long journey of development.
Indeed, the Sierra team has been working around the clock towards the vehicle's potential launch date in the next year.
That means that the spaceplane has been gradually approaching the completion stage both inside and outside.

While the images of the exterior vehicle are actively publicized, a question is raised: How about its interiors?
With an airplane-like design, many people think it will bring a familiar experience like sitting inside a normal aircraft, more convenient than inside a capsule.
Nasa revealed what inside Dream Chaser is better than the Dragon and Starliner.
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
Nasa revealed what Inside Dream Chaser better than the Dragon & Starliner...
Unlike its predecessor, Space Shuttle with the hatch by the side, we access cargo Dream Chaser through the hatch in its back. Climbing inside, as you can see the place inside is pretty empty. Before avionics were installed, the internal structure of Dream Chaser looks luxurious. I mean it had a visible gold composite of aluminum foil and other materials. This is used as a leakage liner to prevent oxygen from leaking out of the vehicle and maintain optimal pressure in the cabin.

I could see this as a good alternative to Starliner. What they should have done was Dragon as the primary and Dreamchaser as the backup. That way they would have developed both capsule and spaceplane tech, rather than just 2 competing capsule systems.
-
The difference is that while both Sierra and Boeing are actively working on their current spacecrafts, SpaceX is already actively working on a replacement for Dragon. They are a good decade ahead of the competition.
-
Pretty sure the Boeing X-37 is also maneuverable at re-entry.
-
Not just the script, but the title of this video could be much more gooder.
-
If it’s better than Dragon 🐉, then let’s see it fly as much as Dragon 🐉 does. It will never be what Dragon 🐉 is.
-
Is this just an AI voice reading word salad?
-
Except it's currently a small unmanned prototype spacecraft. When will it be full size, big enough to ferry crew and cargo to ISS and back.
-
Much talk so far about Tenacity and Dreamchaser. How about some action?
-
On what planet does 10,000 feet equal 3 meters?
-
Can't wait to see this fly. 20 years in design due to lack of funding.
-
The flying Crocs is probably a more comfortable fit for the toes...
-
Imagine Dream Chaser mated with Falcon9.
-
Put an aerospike engine on that bad boy

Good Morning. Tenacity Looks small inside. I like the idea. I wish them all the best. Great Update on the space plane. The loss of the 2 shuttles is on NASA. The leaky O-ring on an ice cold day on the 1st shuttle. The insulation coming off of tank that was supposed to be eco friendly tank. Damaging the heat tile on the 2nd shuttle. You can't lay that on the private space plane industry. Besides the launch procedure of this space plane is way different. Typical NASA. Not taking responsibility for there screwups.
-
We all going to look at the specifications closely in the coming days my hope is nasa Dreamchaser will do more than billions to orbit.kind of use to it Of things going side ways .
-
They’re very different vehicles. Dragon has been extremely successful in what it was designed to do.
-
I can't help but ask, if this thing is supposed to fly up to 15 times, what about the ablative tiles on the bottom? Will they have to be replaced each time, or is there some other materials technology at work here? Replacement would cut out the rapid reusability that we are all looking for. All this time in development, and we don't even have two complete Dream Chasers. Clearly, tiles as a way to get back down to ground is only a stopgap measure. There has to be another way as long as we are using current up/down propulsion technologies - i.e., we 'fall' back down to earth, no matter how controlled it may seem.
-
They can put a jumbo version of the Dream Chaser on top of a Starship Booster in the future.
-
Ok, but seems like a never ending promise of "real soon now"
-
Where is the toilette?
