[i]Dream Chaser development will follow the example of Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-1. All the testing and certifications will happen on the ground and within the atmosphere, the first Dream Chaser launch will be an operational mission for NASA under the CRS-2 contract to the ISS. SNC will benefit from 135 shuttle flights and modern testing techniques to ready Dream Chaser for that first mission, and the company says Dream Chaser will be ready for that flight atop a ULA Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla. in the first half of 2019. NASA does not require a first orbital flight test for the Dream Chaser cargo version before its first operational CRS-2 flight.[/i]
