Sierra Space Dream Chaser Completes Tow Testing | NASA's Kennedy Space Center
During tow testing at KSC and Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility, a Freightliner Cascadia truck towed Dream Chaser at high speeds to simulate critical dynamics and validate autonomous navigational parameters.
Dream Chaser also successfully demonstrated the ability to receive telemetry and distribute commands between the spacecraft and Mission Control in Louisville, Colorado over NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System network.
The testing campaign concluded with a post landing recovery rehearsal.
