SPARKS, Nev., March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) invites the media to an exclusive virtual press conference to reveal its vision for an integrated, free-flying commercial space station, building on key elements of the LIFE™ habitat and Dream Chaser® spaceplane design. SNC will also detail space travel and destination opportunities critical to the commercialization of low-Earth orbit (LEO).

Owned and operated by SNC, the Dream Chaser, America’s Spaceplane®, is a reusable, multi-mission space utility vehicle. It is capable of crew and cargo transportation services to and from LEO and is the only commercial, lifting-body vehicle capable of a runway landing. The first orbital vehicle in SNC’s Dream Chaser fleet. The Dream Chaser Tenacity™ spaceplane and the Shooting Star™ transport vehicle will begin providing cargo delivery and disposal services to the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS-2) contract late next year.

The three-story, LIFE habitat is a 27-foot large inflatable fabric environment that launches on a conventional rocket and inflates on-orbit. It can comfortably sleep four astronauts, with additional room for science experiments, exercise equipment, a medical center and SNC’s Astro Garden® system, which the company is developing as an option to grow fresh produce for astronauts on long-duration space missions.
