Space Company Aims to Deliver Critical Supplies to Any Location in 90 Minutes

Back in the 1980s, FedEx had a great tagline: “When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.” Well, in situations like ground conflicts and disaster scenarios, that’s not good enough. Recognizing the need for an ultra-fast delivery service, Colorado-based Sierra Space is currently developing a system to deliver supplies to virtually any spot on Earth in just 90 minutes.

The company says it’s already been awarded $1.3 billion in prime contracts for satellite constellations under this initiative. Ghost underwent a series of three drop tests on February 1 at Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility. These tests included a terminal drop from 2,000 feet to assess impact dynamics, a controlled parachute descent from 4,000 feet , and a separation of shield and payload components, showcasing the vehicle’s ability to safely return payloads.
