Legacy
The Dream Chaser spacecraft is based on the HL-20 lifting body design. It was developed by SpaceDev for the 2004 Commercial Orbital Transportation Services competition, and is now being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation for the Commercial Crew Development program (CCDev).
Orbital Sciences Corporation has also proposed an HL-20 derivative for the second round of CCDev funding, the Prometheus spacecraft.
Both vehicles are proposed to launch unfaired atop a man-rated Atlas V launch vehicle.
