Sierra Space aims to deliver cargo from space to anywhere on Earth within 90 minutes of when it was requested.
Sierra Space is a leading commercial space-tech company and now its spacecraft, Sierra Space Ghost, enters the final testing stage.
The fastest way to get from New York to Boston is to train and fly which takes 2h 58m. How good it might be to have a technology that can transport us to any location in 90 minutes? Well, that is an option…for cargo delivery. Sierra Space team’s goal is to enable on-demand cargo delivery from orbit to any location on Earth. How long that might last? Well, they could do it in an hour and a half an hour. A combination of cutting-edge technology and pushing the boundaries of space logistics might revolutionize the way of transporting supplies., this could help soldiers for example on the battlefield areas to get what they need. But that is just one of the examples as they’re striving to make a significant impact.
Sierra Space has not yet announced the target date for having the system in operation. Nevertheless, the company is actively advancing with a testing program with a focus on determining what infrastructure, communications systems, and other architecture will be necessary.Big blow for Intel, AMD: China tells telecom firms to phase out foreign chips

Satellites in Low Earth Orbit Affected by Bad Space WeatherSatellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) can deviate from their expected trajectories when bad space weather occurs, causing problems for the International Space Station, China's Tiangong space station, and Earth-observing satellites. The accuracy of these satellites is affected by space weather, with the lower altitudes experiencing a bigger problem due to the variations in Earth's upper atmosphere density. Higher density leads to more drag, slowing down the satellites and causing them to sink towards Earth.
