>The Pentagon is considering allowing United Launch Alliance (ULA) to launch a mass simulator on its next Vulcan Centaur rocket flight if its planned payload, Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser, is not ready by year’s end, according to a defense official.
>ULA maintains confidence that it will launch Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser space plane by October but there are concerns at high levels about ULA’s ability to get the Vulcan rocket certified and flying at the rate needed to meet its contractual obligations, the official said.
