NASA tested the new generation shuttle

The latest generation shuttle ship from the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has just had an experiment in recent years.

In an experiment at NASA's research center in Edwards, California, the new American space shuttle named Dream Chaser was lifted by a giant transport plane in the air. With a series of sensors mounted on the hull of the Dream Chaser, the team evaluated the ship's performance.

The Erickson Air-Crane heavy transport helicopter pulled the Dream Chaser in the air within two hours. Dream Chaser has reached an altitude of 3,780 meters and is moving in the right trajectory intended to move in the future, before landing. At the end of the experiment, the computers rated the control parts, navigation system and ship landing gear all worked well.

Space shuttle Dream Chaser was developed by Sierra Nevada company with NASA investment. This project aims to create a new generation of ships to replace the retired legendary shuttle fleet in 2011 to transport cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).

Ed Mango, NASA's commercial director, said it was just the beginning of a series of Dream Shuttle chaser's exciting test flights to ensure safety before it was officially put into operation.
