LOUISVILLE -- Sierra Nevada Corp.'s Space Systems, the Louisville-based company designing and building the next-generation Dream Chaser spacecraft that aims to put American astronauts back into space, appears ready to take its orbital flight program to the next level by moving it into its own 50,000-square-foot building in the city.
The business unit of Nevada-based Sierra Nevada Corp. wants to move the guts and the operations of the high-profile space travel program to a vacant building at 315 CTC Boulevard, not far from its existing headquarters on Boxelder Street in the Colorado Technology Center.
"(The building) will be dedicated fully to the orbital space vehicle," Sierra Nevada Space Systems head Mark Sirangelo said Monday. "It will all come together in that building."
That includes moving the avionics systems, the labs, the software and the expertise necessary to build the Dream Chaser -- including hiring nearly 80 new high-wage workers -- to the new facility. The spacecraft will undergo autonomous drop tests at Edwards Air Force Base in California this spring and could make its first manned orbital flight in 2016.
Sierra Nevada hasn't yet signed a lease for the new location, but Sirangelo said a decision by the Louisville City Council on Monday night to approve a business assistance package to partially defray the $2.2 million cost of remodeling the building, once home to the company Inovonics, is helpful.
"We're very happy in Louisville and Boulder County and we'd like to expand our presence here," he said.
Alan Stern, associate vice president of the Boulder-based Southwest Research Institute, lauded the news about a dedicated facility for the Dream Chaser, which competes with several other spacecraft under development in the commercial space industry. Those include the Dragon space capsule from California-based SpaceX and the CST-100 capsule from Boeing.

year, American astronauts have had to jockey for a seat on Russian Soyuz space capsules in order to reach the International Space Station -- at a price of $60 million a seat.

The company says it expects to hire 79 people for the new building, bringing the total number of people working on the spacecraft to about 200 in a year's time. Most of those jobs would be high-paying -- averaging about $120,000 a year.
Sirangelo said the company already has made about 30 new hires since August. Sierra Nevada employs approximately 300 people in Louisville, where it also makes satellites and other space equipment.
Aaron DeJong, Louisville's economic development director, said the incentive package the City Council approved Monday will cost the city $28,000 in rebated construction use taxes and permit fees. But he said it's a small price to pay for bringing good-paying jobs to the city and keeping a marquee name such as Dream Chaser at the Colorado Technology Center.
"To have Louisville hitting national news because of a local company is good and we want to foster that relationship," he said. "After all, there are other aerospace hubs not too far away from here. This is one small way we can help."

так это же "Лапоть"!!!

История, вроде, известная. После получения фотографий Бора NACA поручили исследовать этот облик в аэродинамических трубах. Отчёт, спустя некоторое время, стал общественным достоянием в США, так как проводился на деньги от налогов. Модель похвалили в американских журналах за устойчивость при очень разных углах атаки.

Sierra Nevada собственных исследований не имела, потому использовали бесплатные для них отчёты. Формально советским разработчикам они не должны, хотя на советское авторское право указывают.

Sierra Nevada Corporation Completes the Finance Investment Milestone for the Dream Chaser® a Month Ahead of Schedule
Published: Tuesday, Jun. 25, 2013 / Updated: Tuesday, Jun. 25, 2013 04:20 PM

SPARKS, Nev. --

Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) has successfully completed another Dream Chaser milestone under NASA's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) agreement. The CCiCap Investment Finance milestone represents SNC's commitment to significantly invest its own dollars into the design, development and testing of the Dream Chaser Space System.

Спойлер

SNC is committed to the successful development and deployment of the Dream Chaser Space System by investing company resources in support of NASA's CCiCap program requirements. The additional funding supports the purchase of equipment, facility expansion, modifications, upgrades and the purchasing or licensing of intellectual property to support programs.

One of SNC's investments in the program is the recent opening of a new facility that houses Dream Chaser personnel along with upgraded laboratories, including a new state-of-the-art flight simulator. The new building is located in Louisville, Colo., close to SNC's Space Systems' current headquarters in the Colorado Technology Center.
 
 In addition to this recent milestone, SNC has completed three major milestones under the CCiCap agreement, including the Integrated System Baseline Review, the Program Implementation Review and the first Integrated System Safety Analysis Review. SNC completed milestone five ahead of milestone four, which is on schedule to be completed later this year. Milestone four will mark the conclusion of the flight test series that Dream Chaser is currently undergoing at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, Calif.

"- На моей машине нацарапано нехорошее слово.
- Какое?"    
Есть ли внешние телекамеры? И где? Если смотреть как перевозят Dream Chaser под чехлом, то видны два нароста по бокам сверху и один в районе верхнего лючка. В статье, приведенной многоуважаемым ronatu гладкий корпус. На белом может быть не видно. Где же будут внешние телекамеры?
Для осмотра плиток будет применятся выдвижная телекамера?
