About Us About Sierra Space Sierra Space is a leading commercial space company that is building platforms in space to benefit life on Earth.
With more than 30 years and 500 missions of space flight heritage, Sierra Space is enabling the future of space transportation with Dream Chaser®, the world’s only winged commercial spaceplane.
