Sierra Spaceが膨張式宇宙ステーションモジュールの打ち上げを続ける
https://www.space.com/sierra-space-second-full-scale-burst-test-video

Sierra Spaceが2024年6月に行った模擬訓練では、20フィート（6メートル）以上のインフレータブルモジュールが爆発しました。Orbital Reefの開発を進め、ISSの後継となる商業宇宙ステーションの準備をしています。

最新のテストではNASAの安全基準を大幅に上回る結果が得られました。 #SierraSpace #UltimatteBurstPressure #OrbitalReef

NASAがBlue Originの軌道リーフ生命維持システムの進捗状況を確認
https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/commercial-space/nasa-sees-progress-on-blue-origins-orbital-reef-life-support-system/

NASAの商業宇宙ステーション「Orbital Reef」が、重要な生命維持システムのテストを完了。NASAとの提携により、商業ステーションの開発を進め、低軌道に持続的な人類の存在を確保。

宇宙環境の清浄や資源再利用技術に焦点を当てた4つのマイルストーンを達成。 #NASA #OrbitalReef #SpaceExploration

📆 14th Jan 2024 #BlueOrigin has been granted an extra $42 million 💰, in addition to its $130 million grant, to work on developing the #OrbitalReef #LEO #SpaceStation concept with the aid of several other companies, including #Amazon, #Boeing, and #SierraSpace. #VoyagerSpace has been granted an additional $57.5 million 💰 to its initial $160 million grant for designing the #Starlab orbiting complex.
#NASA's goal is to commence operations before the #ISS is phased out in 📆 2030 https://orbitaltoday.com/2024/01/14/nasa-grants-an-additional-100-to-develop-private-space-stations/

#BlueOrigin's #OrbitalReef would consist of three modules. Each module would be bigger than those on the #ISS. Combined, they would provide 830 cubic meters of habitable space. That’s equivalent to the volume of a #Boeing 777 cargo plane ✈️, or 91% of the total interior volume of the #ISS. The core module would be a windowed atrium measuring 10.5 m long and 5.8 m 📏 in diameter. Off to one side would be a smaller “life module,” which would serve as the crew’s 👩‍🚀 living quarters. To the other side is the #laboratory ⚗️ module.
How #BlueOrigin would #launch 🚀 its modules remains an open question. https://time.com/6163554/private-space-stations/

#SpaceStation

"#SierraSpace has partnered with #BlueOrigin, Jeff Bezos's space company, on a space station concept known as #OrbitalReef...But recent reports, including from Ars [Technica], have suggested that lead partner Blue Origin may be losing interest in a low-Earth orbit space station. CNBC reported last month that the Blue Origin-Sierra Space partnership was 'on rocky footing.' A report from Reuters said Blue Origin has reassigned personnel from the space station program."

#Reuters 📆 October 2, 2023 #BlueOrigin reassigned a majority of its employees 👨‍💼👩‍🏭 working on #OrbitalReef, a commercial #SpaceStation it had planned to build with #SierraSpace https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/bezos-blue-origin-sees-split-space-station-partnership-sources-2023-10-02/

Feels weird to talk about a replacement for the #InternationalSpaceStation, but commercial partners are getting ready to build replacements.
