Inkampani ye-Aerospace i-United Launch Alliance (ULA) inomthengi wayo wokuqala oqinisekisiweyo ukuba asebenzise isizukulwana esilandelayo se-Vulcan Centaur isithuthi esinzima sokuphakamisa ukuhambisa umthwalo kwi-orbit.
Inkampani yeSierra Nevada inike i-ULA ikhontrakthi yobuncinci i-Vulcan Centaur emithandathu yokuqalisa ukuthumela isiphekepheke se-Dream Chaser esinokusetyenziswa kwakhona kwi-orbit, esiya kuthwala imithwalo yabasebenzi beSikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe.
Iphulo lokuqala kwemithandathu ye-Dream Chaser yokuhambisa imithwalo kwi-ISS icwangciselwe ukwenzeka ekupheleni kuka-2021 ukusuka eCape Canaveral kwinqwelomoya yesibini ye-Vulcan Centaur rocket, nokuqaliswa kwayo kokuqala kucwangciselwe ekuqaleni kwaloo nyaka.
ISierra Nevada ngaphambili yayinekhontrakthi ye-ULA yokuqaliswa kwe-Dream Chaser ezimbini kwiirokethi ze-Atlas 5. Ezi ndawo zimbini zogcino ziguqulelwe kwimishini ye-Vulcan, kulandelwa lugcino olune losungulo lwe-Vulcan Centaur kwiimishini ze-Dream Chaser.
Into ephambili ekukhetheni i-Vulcan Centaur yokuqaliswa okongeziweyo yayiyintsebenziswano ehlala ixesha elide kunye ne-ULA, amagosa aseSierra Nevada athi.
βNdicinga ukuba i-ULA ibenenzuzo enkulu kuba besikunye nabo ukusukela kusuku lokuqala,β utshilo u-Eren Ozmen, umnini kunye nomongameli waseSierra Nevada, esongeza ukuba inkampani ibonelela ngexabiso elikhuphisana ngokwenene.
