Minimum of 15 flights before it has to undergo *major* refurbishment? Or before it would likely have to be decommissioned?
Fun facts learned about @SierraNevCorp's Dream Chaser today at #34SS:
– Can stay in orbit about 210 days
– Reusability: Minimum of 15 flights per vehicle
– Refurbishment between flights will take about 60 days
– First flight landing at KSC's SLFpic.twitter.com/h4m0HNyk2U

Yeah, kind of curious. Is that the minimum number they plan to get before it's out of service? Do we know the cost of the vehicle yet? Curious what the cost of a flight is if they're getting 15 uses per vehicle.

It's a great effort. no doubt, but these specs and 'desirements' don't count for much until they've been demonstrated.

Is that 210 days supported by Space Station resources, or 210 days of independent flight?

Unsure, but I can offer this: A typical ISS mission will be about 80 days. As far as protection and survivability goes, it can handle up to 210 days, they said.
