HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Huntsville is one step closer in its quest to be a landing site for a spaceplane!

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) held a virtual public hearing Thursday and will soon decide whether a spacecraft can land at the Huntsville International Airport. The Dream Chaser is a mini spaceplane. It needs a rocket to launch it, but it still needs somewhere to land after circling the International Space Station. If it is approved, that could happen at the Huntsville International Airport in 2023.

It’s a project that’s out of this world, but in close reach for the Rocket City.
