Dream Chaser space plane glides to Earth on flight test steeped in history [i]A small space plane has repeated history — both its own, and that of an earlier iconic winged spacecraft. Sierra Nevada Corporation's (SNC) Dream Chaser flew its first fully successful approach and landing test on Saturday (Nov. 11), dropping from altitude below a carrier helicopter to an autonomous touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Veteran's Day test flight repeated a feat carried out in 2013, but without the engineering test article suffering damage from a landing gear failure.[/i]
