“The test was the final milestone in the company’s Commercial Crew Development 2 (CCDev-2) agreement with NASA; the company is already well on its way through completing the follow-on Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) award. ‘We believe that we satisfied the requirements’ of the CCDev-2 milestone, he said. ‘NASA needs to review and [is] expected to do that within 30 days.’ Sirangelo emphasized that the key part of the test was testing the flight characteristics of the Dream Chaser and verifying them against models, noting that the test was the first flight of lifting body ‘of this type’ since the 1970s.”
