SNC is now developing an orbital spacecraft called the Dream Chaser.

There are plans to build a fleet of Dream Chasers.

On-orbit propulsion of the Dream Chaser is provided by twin hybrid rocket engines.

The historical antecedents of the Dream Chaser go back nearly 50 years in the US and Soviet airplane and lifting body research.

Similar to the Orbital Sciences phase 2 proposal, the Dream Chaser is also a lifting body design.

The Dream Chaser is on track for operational commercial human flight capability as early as 2016.

The testing at Dryden will include tow, captive-carry and free-flight tests of the Dream Chaser.

Both the Orbital Sciences proposal and the Dream Chaser are lifting body designs.

Like the Orbital Sciences proposal, the Dream Chaser was also a lifting body design.
