CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Steve Lindsey, former NASA astronaut and Dream Chaser program manager for Sierra Nevada Corporation, or SNC, Space Systems stands at a plaque honoring the final landing of space shuttle Discovery on the 3.5-mile-long runway at Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility. Lindsey, who was the commander of Discovery’s STS-133 mission, is holding a model of SNC’s Dream Chaser. SNC announced it plans to work with United Launch Alliance, or ULA, to launch the Dream Chaser spacecraft into orbit atop an Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in November 2016 intends to land the winged spacecraft at the Shuttle Landing Facility lease office space at Exploration Park, right outside Kennedy’s gates and process the spacecraft in the high bay of the Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy, with Lockheed Martin performing the work. The announcements made during a news conference at Kennedy are considered substantial for SNC and important to plans by NASA and Space Florida for Kennedy’s transformation into a multi-user spaceport for both commercial and government customers.
