Sierra Space\u2019s $1.4 Billion funding round<\/h2>\n

Last November, Sierra Space raised $1.4 billion in funding. The company said at the time this funding would be used to \u201caccelerate the realization of Sierra Space\u2019s vision of enabling humanity to build civilizations in space, while enhancing life on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sierra Space has multiple different products under development at the current time. The company\u2019s Dream Chaser space plan is set to begin (cargo) flights to the International Space Station early next year. Dream Chaser is also set to become a crew vehicle, and many future iterations to meet various design requirements, such as the defense-focused DC300, will be created.<\/p>\n

In addition to space launches themselves, Sierra Space is working on developing modules for more extended stays in space, its LIFE habitat. The inflatable multi-story habitat can bring lots of pressurized volume to on-orbit environments (and future surface based habitats on the Moon or Mars). Making use of both of these solutions is Sierra Space\u2019s planned space station, Orbital Reef.<\/p>\n
