Sierra Space announced that its Dream Chaser spaceplane successfully completed the Joint Test 10B milestone in collaboration with NASA.

The test demonstrated that Dream Chaser was able to power-on, air-cool, and exchange data with multiple powered payloads in the pressurized cabin. The testing fulfills an important progression in moving toward a planned mission for Dream Chaser to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). A 56-year-old California man recently pled guilty after he flew his drone into a Super Scooper firefighting aircraft. The incident forced responders to temporarily ground all nearby aircraft and take the damaged plane out of service. California authorities have reported at least 40 unauthorized drone incidents during the Palisades Fire, which scorched over 23,400 acres of land and left at least 12 residents dead. Samples returned to Earth from asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft probe have been studied and have revealed the presence of molecules that here are key to life. In addition, they showed a
history of saltwater that potentially could serve as a broth to facilitate interactions among the molecules. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-NextGen!!!
