Sierra Space Ghost is a state-of-the-art space delivery system engineered to safely return objects from space – and through space – directly to precise locations on Earth. Ghost, a low beta reentry vehicle utilizing revolutionary deployable decelerator technology, represents a significant leap forward in space logistics and recovery operations, promising to enhance the sustainability and safety of space. Ghost will be able to deliver payloads anywhere in the world in 90 minutes or less, enabling a highly responsive space-based system without the need for a fixed infrastructure. Remarkably, Ghost transitioned from development to flight testing in just 90 days, showcasing Axelerator’s rapid prototyping and development capabilities.

    Pretty soon going to be delivering Helldivers!
  • @bryanrocker5033
    Very good concept but grow it to include disasters requiring medical equipment, water cleaning equipment, so many things this could be used for beyond the warfighter.
  • @tanyatucjer
    OMG!!! THAT'S INCREDIBLY AMAZING!!! You guys invented the parachute, what are you going to think of next, the airplane!?!?😮😢😮
  • @James-tp2zq
    Thank you for your service to Super Earth. Hard to believe dialing up a ⬇️⬇️⬆️➡️ will be reality soon
  • @TheSanchezuno
    What´s behind me? Oh that... That´s just my collection of F104 Starfighters....
  • @Imagine_Beyond
    Cool project! It's the first I have heard of it. I hope it is used for good such as transporting rescue supplies to emergency situations. It seems like a scary idea that weapons could be dropped from LEO to any location on Earth
  • @keruetz
    Exciting product. Hope it is amazingly successful.
  • I like the concept in a way but I guess I don’t fully u understand… 1. How long will this be relevant for the military? They are rapidly transitioning to drones and autonomous vehicles for everything a misfile won’t do. 2. If it will be relevant for a while…Does that mean you have to put thousands of these things in space? If so won’t that clutter an already increasingly crowded domain?  3. Also wouldn't you need to make new entry pods every time there is an advancement in weaponry? I mean you wouldn’t want an M1 Garand dropped to you when you could get a XM7. 4. I’m sure as time goes on it will get cheaper and cheaper to put payloads into space but as of now that’s a really expensive way to get items to soldiers. As long as a base is reasonably close, wouldn’t drones do this job in 90 minutes? If a soldier is on a mission that’s farther than a drone can reach to deploy items wouldn’t they usually have planned for the things they need in advance? 5. The one creator suggested that this could be of use in a fire fight. I agree getting munitions to soldiers in need is crucial but 90 minutes in a fire fight seems like an eternity. As long as the resupply gets there before someone is over run it’s great but if 90 minutes is too long it doesn’t help at all. 6. (To a lesser extent) The only thing that these pods will be able to deliver is what is preloaded on them. If the soldier needed anything else it won’t really help anyway. I know they can put the things most usually needed on them but still. Like I said I think the concept could be really useful and any advancements could help in other areas too. I am truly asking these questions I’m not being sarcastic. Am I not fully understanding the idea or are my concerns mislead?
  • Always glad to see a new post from Sierra Space. On orbit warehousing and global delivery is something I certainly never considered. Which shuttle was in the background?
  • @Vaquero357x2
    Lets take a minute to appreciate these are being prepped in a hanger with some of the last flying F-104 Starfighters in the world!
  • I knew the day would come when Amazon Prime could same-day deliver my positive energy crystals from space.
  • Exciting technology, one wonders however how material that could be relevant to military operations such as ammunition or medical supplies could be packed in a way that allows it to survive weeks if not months in space plus the re-entry and impact. Looking forward to updates on this over the next years !
  • @markusjuenemann
    Where was this test done/filmed? What is it with that Shuttle Mockup in the background?
  • @Nightscape_
    super cool. I was having flashbacks to my paratrooper days seeing that parachute drop - I think I even saw you all using 550 cord.
  • @jackallread
    Sounds really interesting, good luck guys!!
  • What a great Idea! Lots of Great Ideas out there, but few actually DOING these things. WOW! Mind Blown as I think of the long game here. Capabilities not even thought of are being answered.
