For decades now a new more modern spaceplane has been undergoing near-constant development, manufacturing, and testing. All of this has led up to its maiden flight, which is expected to happen just later this year. Only days ago Tenacity, the first flight-capable Dream Chaser, arrived at NASA Kennedy in Florida. This will be the location of its final tests and eventually its launch site.
Tenacity was completed months ago however NASA and the company responsible, Sierra Space, are doing everything in their power to ensure the vehicle is ready and can withstand the forces of launch, reentry, etc. The recent move to NASA’s facility marks the final journey and practically the end of testing. Here I will go more in-depth into the final tests, arrival at the facility, expected launch date, and more.
