History: Dream Chaser Program

• 1982-84: ½ scale Russian BOR-4 orbital flights − Recovery photographed by Australian

Royal Air Force P-3 Orion aircraft

• 1983-95: NASA Langley development of HL-20 (based on BOR-4 images)

• 2005-10: SpaceDev (later acquired by SNC) modified the HL-20 into the Dream Chaser spacecraft

• 2010-14: SNC awarded NASA’s CCDev 1, CCDev2, CCiCap and CPC contracts to continue development

• 2014-15: SNC modified the Dream Chaser spacecraft to become the Dream Chaser Cargo System for NASA’s CRS2 program

• 2016: SNC wins CRS2 Contract & ETA Flight #2 ©2016 Sierra Nevada Corporation 14

Market and Economic Context


Why We Explore and the Big

Picture Earth’s Moon • 382,500 km / 237,674 mi • Witness to the birth of the Earth and inner

planets • Has critical resources to sustain humans

Mars and its Moons • 54,500,000 km / 33,900,000 mi • A premier destination for discovery:

Is there life beyond Earth? How did Mars evolve?

• True possibility for extended, even permanent, stays

• Technological driver for space systems

HEO/MEO/GEO/LaGrange Points • Telecommunications, Positioning,

Navigation, Timing • Microgravity destinations beyond LEO • Opportunities for construction, fueling and

repair of complex in-space systems • Excellent locations for advanced space

telescopes, science, and Earth Observation Near-Earth Asteroids • Compelling science questions: How

did the Solar System form? Where did Earth’s water and organics come from?

• Planetary defense: Understanding and mitigating the threat of impact resources

• Potential source of materials and resources

• Excellent stepping stone for Mars
