This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcome you to these two interviews recorded at the AIAA Space 2014 Conference in San Diego, CA from August 4-7, 2014. The first segment or interview on this nearly two hour program features Larry Price, Deputy Director for Lockheed on the Orion project. In the second segment or the second interview, I recorded a Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser press conference featuring Dr. Mark Sirangelo. As you will hear from my introductory comments on tape, both segments faced audio challenges. Also, I missed the full opening statement by Mark re Dream Chaser and I apologize for the perhaps 1 minute omission. I joined the press conference in session. Regarding Orion, Larry provided us with an update on Orion’s progress, we talked about the heat shield, the coming December flight test on the Delta 4 Heavy, Atlas 5 issues, the type of missions Orion can fly including lunar and cis-lunar missions along with Mars, Martian moons, and asteroid missions. This was a broad ranging discussion regarding Orion and deep space human missions. In the second segment, or the press conference regarding Dream Chaser by Sierra Nevada, Mark provided us with scheduling and testing information and flight status reports. He also carefully defined the Dream Chaser mission, goals, and objectives. We talked about launch vehicles should Atlas 5 RD-180 issues for a launcher change. This included the possibility of using a Falcon rocket. Mark took audience questions. Several wanted to know Dream Chaser’s intention of NASA did not down select them in the commercial crew process. I raised the volume on the audience questions as much as I could but if you do have a problem hearing the question, I believe you can figure it out based on Mark’s answer. Please post comments/questions for either segment and guest on The Space Show blog above. I will make sure to forward your comment to the appropriate guest.
