SNC's Dream Chaser® spacecraft has a new look! We added more white tiles because, on-orbit, the black tiles absorb too much heat, while white tiles reflect heat generated by the sun. To learn more, watch this video:

Quick comparison between the cargo and crewed versions, question now is, where is the crewed version hiding ? #DreamChaser

While we may not be showing it off publicly, we still continue to work on the crew design through an agreement with NASA. We actually meet with the Commercial Crew Program regularly and brief milestones to them through that agreement.

So, with the new Dream Chaser images, I'm assuming we need an updated prop. tank orientation/location diagram ? or are we going to do some hole cutting ? Cuz that ain't fittin' ;-)

SNC selected ULA as the launch vehicle provider for the Dream Chaser spacecraft's six NASA missions to the ISS. The Dream Chaser will launch aboard ULA's Vulcan Centaur rockets for its cargo resupply and return services to the space station, starting in 2021.

SNC's John Curry notes all six missions will be berthed to Node 2 Nadir. Dream Chaser can do docking, but the option was taken to be berthed.

The #VulcanCentaur rocket that will launch these 6 missions will have a 5.4-m-diameter fairing that will surround the @SierraNevCorp  #SNCDreamChaser, four additional solid rocket motors and two RL10 upper stage engines to deliver Dream Chaser to the ISS.

From Eren Ozmen's comments, it sounded like SNC considered Falcon 9 and New Glenn, along with Ariane 6 and H-2/H3 for Dream Chaser missions.
