The world’s first winged commercial spaceplane has arrived at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking its final preparations before making its debut uncrewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This groundbreaking spacecraft, developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation, aims to revolutionize space travel by providing a more cost-effective and reusable solution for transporting cargo and, eventually, crew to low Earth orbit destinations. The spaceplane’s innovative design combines airplane-like features with advanced rocket propulsion, allowing it to land on conventional runways, thus streamlining recovery and turnaround times.
