The Dream Chaser, a reusable crewed space shuttle currently under development by Sierra Nevada Corporation, may one day carry people into space with the help of Stratolaunch’s massive carrier plane, the brainchild of aviation legend Burt Rutan and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
The news comes on the heels of Sierra Nevada Corporation’s announcement that it will legally challenge NASA’s decision to snub the company’s bid for a Commercial Crew Transportation contract in favor of the competition’s two other proposals, submitted by Boeing and SpaceX.
