Dream Chaser space plane preps for ISS supply missions in 2022
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — Kennedy Space Center in Florida continues to get busier with commercial space ventures, and the latest features a space plane that will ferry cargo to the International Space Station.
"I have great memories here. I landed here all three times. I love this place," said Janet Kavandi, who is leading Sierra Nevada's new division called "Sierra Space."
She was speaking about the former space shuttle landing facility, where the company's spacecraft, called Dream Chaser, will soon touch down after cargo runs to the ISS.
Kavandi, a veteran NASA astronaut, returned to Earth each time at the Kennedy Space Center landing facility.
