Technological Advancements Shaping the Space Station Resupply Industry
Innovations within the space station resupply sector are centered around the development of uncrewed lifting-body spaceplanes. These spacecraft are designed to improve cargo transport efficiency by allowing runway landings, which are beneficial for recovering sensitive payloads and enabling frequent, reusable missions to low Earth orbit. Uncrewed lifting-body spaceplanes operate autonomously, generating aerodynamic lift from their fuselage shape to glide smoothly back to Earth. A notable example is the Dream Chaser spaceplane from Sierra Space Corporation, a U.S.-based aerospace company. In November 2023, Sierra Space completed assembly of its first Dream Chaser spacecraft, named Tenacity, at their facility in Louisville, Colorado. This milestone marks a step toward the spaceplane's inaugural cargo mission to the ISS planned for spring. The Dream Chaser launches atop a rocket and lands on a runway, providing gentle recovery of delicate cargo.
