The Dream Chaser is a revolutionary reusable spacecraft from Terra Space that will supply the ISS and open up a new frontier of flexible, affordable access to low-Earth orbit. Dream Chaser-from Sierra Space, the leading commercial space company-provides autonomous launch, flight, and landing for reliable cargo transport and return. It combines the capability of space with the adaptability of an airplane.
Ghost Spacecraft Features
TheGhost Spacecraft will be unique in the orbital logistics world due to a variety of new features it introduces. It's capable of prestaging supplies for fast deployment to Earth1 on five-year on-orbit life. Critical materials will be delivered safely due to the system deploying a decelerator that would protect its payloads during re-entry.
Ghost can land within 100 meters of a specified target, thanks to its accurate delivery capabilities.
- 150 kilograms is the current payload capacity.Delivery time to any point on Earth: less than 90 minutes
- Rudder for a controlled descent is the steering mechanism.
- Small-sized design: Effectively stows during launch and deploys in orbit
- Adaptive thermal protection system - it protects cargo from heating during re-entry.
Upcoming Developments:
The Ghost's improvement will be seen in the operational infrastructure, improvement of communication systems, and enhancement of data recording capability. 1. Working with the FAA to resolve reentry license issues, Sierra Space is well-placed to become a leader in space mobility and logistics. Future experiments will firm up its function in space operations for national security by honing the system's capability. It is a collaboration that was founded in September 2022, with the aim of providing solutions using Sierra Space's wider portfolio of space planes called Dream Chaser and cargo modules named Shooting Star with the Transportation Command of the U.S. Department of Defense.
