SNC Cargo Logistics Module Arrival

The cargo logistics module for Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Dream Chaser, the company’s reusable spaceplane, arrives at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 27, 2019. The cargo module – secured atop a truck – is being taken to Kennedy’s Space Station Processing Facility. A 15-foot attachment to Dream Chaser, the cargo module provides extra storage for payloads and provides cargo disposal upon re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. Dream Chaser will deliver more than 12,000 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services 2 contract. The spacecraft and cargo module will begin resupply and return services missions to the space station in late 2021.
