@NASASpaceOps NASA and @SierraSpaceCo are preparing for the first flight of the company’s Dream Chaser spacecraft to International Space Station (ISS). Dream Chaser and its companion cargo module, called Shooting Star, arrived at NASA’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, for environmental testing, scheduled to start in mid-December, ahead of its first flight, scheduled for the first half of 2024
