Startup Sierra Space based in Colorado is ready to launch your reusable space aircraft, Dream chicter. It is ready to carry in the orbit of a 3-D printed module designed by engineers Pharma giant. If the test runs well, and if the dramic charger softening process protects the sensitive cargo, it can be the beginning of something bigger despite being a crystal microscope.

A short history of space crystal
Space crystal looks like an astrologer guru is hanging on his bed to help them sleep, but there is real science here. According to ISS National LabThe crystals that are grown into space are just: “Scientists have speculated that these observed benefits result in a crystal mesh in a microority, slowly, more uniform movement of molecules.”
Research in the monoclonal antibodies indicates crystallization because the key to developing a more stable, subcutaneous delivery method. Theoretically, instead of expensive chemotherapy sessions, injections can be done that a patient can manage at home.
This is a science fiction equipment – and in this case Andromeda tensionIt’s literally – but the truth is in fact close Back toward the future. Space Crystal Research actually started in Early 80sFirst on the rocket flights and finally on the space shuttle.
Space Crystal Research actually began in the early 80’s
By that time there was a lot of hope (and hype) about tech, but eventually it was confronted for two things. The first cost. The space shuttle orbit was to be a low -cost orbital research transporter of the United States, but that never caused fitness. NASA’s each mission costs each flight standing at a place 1.5 billion dollars. This is only very expensive, even in the pharma industry, where there are often seven or more digits to report quarterly profits.
The rise of Space X and its rivals has reduced the costs substantially, which has reduced the cost of obtaining cargo in space by relatively PAL by 2,000 per kg. But it still leaves another problem: trauma.
If you are just going all ways to rotate the ultra -fine structure, you don’t want to slip them on pieces on the way down.
“This is about 20 20 miles per hour,” said Dr. Tom Marsburn about the experience of landing in a capsule like Dragon. He knew. Marsh Bern Sierra is the Chief astronaut and human factors are the VP of the engineering company, but before that he was a nasal astronaut. He has flown to the shuttle, Suez and the dragon.
Sierra and her re -energized dream plane, which is ready to fix both problems, costs and trauma, fell into one.
One of us, a certain age, will probably feel an irrational commitment to the dreams of dreams at first glance. Its black and white color scheme and easy, lifting body design gives strong space shuttle orbit, but it is not a retro design that aims to get the throwback credit. There are some great benefits from the Dream Cheese shuttle.
One thing IT, it is very small, which is about a quarter of the length. It fits a ULA (United Launch Alliance) Wilkan rocket’s pay load basket, which does not require dirty combinations of tanks, liquid and solid fuel -rising, and endless special hardware that hopes to be profitable.
It does not require a three -mile -long runway like a shuttle. “It can make a healthy landing on wherever 737 can descend,” said Dr. Marshburn.
“It can make a landing wherever 737 can land anywhere.”
The biggest change, though, is that it will not fly with the crew. For now, at least. The Dream Cheese was born from the trade staff transport capabilities (CCTCAP) contract, a competition that included SpaceX’s dragon capsules and Boeing star liner capsules. NASA chose two winners, and Sierra Space was unfortunate in the third place.
However, by looking at the capabilities, NASA offered sufficient orbital cargo contracts to pursue dreams. A finely designed space plane will launch and will descend according to the plan, just minus people.
Why did NASA want to keep Sierra’s place in the loop? The Dream Cheeser’s design offers some real benefits, especially when we potentially enter the space manufacturing age. “According to the nature of the physics of its shape, a dragon -like capsule, which takes only half of what it takes, said,” said Megan Crawford, the founder and managing partner. Space FundEarly -stage venture capital investment fund, focusing on the trading space. “The space plane has anti -physics, it can double it.”
An ideal orbit transport and manufacturing network, then, is a combination of both of them.
That is the ability. For now, the project with the Merck is a matter of evidence, a 3D printed module containing a series of tubes, plugers and capsules. Once it comes to the ISS, an intended astronaut will turn some valves into a continuation, then a person who is resulting in it will be closed back to the ground for someone to inspect it.
And they will be able to do so quickly. Traditional rental capsules such as Dragon or Suez often spend their luggage before bouncing on boats or trucks, Dr. Marsh Burn said. The Dream Cheeser was designed to offload the cargo within an hour when its wheels stop rolling.
The Merck module will test the soft landing in addition to this quick recovery, which will ensure the possibility of such crystal growth in space. And, although the ISS itself is ready to end it until the end of the decade, Sierra Space is positioning its own infiltrated orbit modules as a commercial alternative, which is free from ISS politics and supervision.
Curford of the Space Fund said that economics are stable, and this is the number of players trying to benefit from the spacecraft market. Startups, such as Venice Aerospace, Riden Aerospace, Dawn Aerospace, and Virgin Galaxy, have its own aircraft, which have targets from cargo to space tourism.
Space drug development has the potential to be very promising, but Sierra has some other arrows in her quirk. It is in contributions with Honda to get Next General Fuel’s Cell In SpaceAnd those of you who are craving small and better processors can also be in fate. Called a startup Space Forge The orbit intends to grow a sub -reservoir of the processor, another area where soft touchdown is key. Scattering the obstacles of today’s mission cost, Sierra space may also be blowing through the semiconductor nanoteter obstruction.
It is hoped that another type of equipment comes out of these missions. For now, the Dream Cheeser has been sent only for cargo transport, but the stumbling block of the star liner program can reopen the door to prevent humans.
“You see a wing body and of course, astronauts, especially the test pilots, we want to join it,” said Dr. Marshburn. “At any point, we will be able to take advantage of the task that has already been prepared.”
If it works, it will take some time. Hard, the first dream chasar, passing through Last check in NASAWaiting for an opportunity to go to ISS at some point later this year. Second, devotion, currently in production.
In other words: See this place.
