Supply Ships

Starship, developed by SpaceX, is a fully reusable spacecraft with a large cargo capacity, making it ideal for resupplying space stations, deploying satellites, and supporting ambitious missions to the Moon and Mars. Its versatility and scalability aim to revolutionize space logistics by reducing costs and increasing payload capacity.

Dream Chaser, on the other hand, is a reusable lifting-body spacecraft resembling a small space shuttle. Designed to land on conventional runways, it offers a smooth return for sensitive cargo. As part of NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services program, Dream Chaser is scheduled to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) while emphasizing gentle, precise cargo retrieval.

Both spacecraft represent the next generation of supply vehicles, combining reusability and advanced technology to enhance the efficiency of space missions and prepare for humanity’s expanding presence beyond Earth.
