The Dream Chaser is one of three private spacecraft — and the only winged system — in development under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, with public and private funding.

Dream Chaser performs first free flight, but sustains damage
The Dream Chaser prototype space vehicle performed its first free-flight approach-and-landing test Saturday morning, but was damaged when the left landing gear did not fully deploy. The free flight lasted about a minute — including a 50 degree nose dive, a pull up maneuver to steady the vehicle for landing and a successful glide landing that was entirely autonomous of any human interference.
