Reusable lifting-body spaceplane that launches atop a conventional rocket and lands on commercial runways, designed for both cargo and, in a later crewed variant, astronaut transport. The cargo version, Tenacity, is built to deliver pressurized and unpressurized supplies to the International Space Station under a NASA Commercial Resupply Services contract and return cargo with gentle, low-g reentry. Its winged, runway-landing design distinguishes it from the capsules used by other commercial resupply providers.
Large Integrated Flexible Environment, an inflatable space habitat that launches compactly inside a rocket fairing and expands on orbit into a three-story volume for living and working in space. LIFE is intended as a building block for commercial space stations, including the Orbital Reef station Sierra Space is developing with Blue Origin, providing crew quarters, labs, and storage. Sierra Space has ground-tested full-scale LIFE modules to burst pressure and plans an on-orbit pathfinder demonstration.
