Sierra Space teamed up with launch partner United Launch Alliance (ULA) to conduct shock tests using the flight separation system that will deploy the spacecraft from the upper stage of ULA\u2019s second Vulcan Centaur rocket. What\u2019s next? Tenacity will soon be transported to NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center and staged inside the famed Space Systems Processing Facility (SSPF). Speaking of spaceplanes, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see SpaceX collaborate with the company in the near future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B08STQBXN5\" data-aawp-product-id=\"119171\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"LEGO Icons NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 Model Building Set - Spaceship Collection with Hubble Telescope Detailed Display for Home or Office Decor Gift Idea for Adults\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41TFieG5UzL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"LEGO Icons NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 Model Building Set - Spaceship Collection with Hubble...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            LEGO Icons NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 Model Building Set &#8211; Spaceship Collection with Hubble&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>LEGO NASA Space Set &#8211; This adult LEGO set features the Space Shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Space Telescope from NASA\u2019s 1990 STS-31 mission,&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Solar System Exploration &#8211; Unlock the mysteries of our solar system with this engaging 2,354-piece project, packed with authentic details and&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Shuttle Features Galore &#8211; The space shuttle model has an opening payload bay, retractable landing gear, opening cockpit, moving elevons, space arm,&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Space Exploration With Sierra Space CEO Tom Vice and Anton Levy at FII Priority in Miami\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lyDdefn585o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Successful completion of an incredibly rigorous environmental testing campaign in close partnership with NASA is a significant milestone and puts Dream Chaser on track for operations later this year.
