Sierra Space’s Post

Sierra Space is leading the way in Softgoods expandable/inflatable habitat architectures that can be applied across muiltiple applications - LEO, Cis Lunar, Lunar and Deep Space. Launch to volume cost, there is nothing that compares. This technology will be the definitive architecture that allows humans to live, work and play in space. Sierra Space and its key contributors (ILC Dover Astrospace NASA Marshall Space Flight Center) will show case the LIFE 285 module Ultimate Burst pressure test on Wednesday November 20, 2024, on NOVA | Building Stuff: Reach It! - Preview https://lnkd.in/gXn72Czw Watch NOVA | Building Stuff: Reach It!
