Sierra Space and ILC Dover collaborate on inflatable space technology.
Sierra Space and ILC Dover have partnered to develop inflatable space station modules and spacesuits. ILC Dover will provide soft goods for Sierra Space's Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) modules, which will be used for commercial space stations, lunar and Mars applications. The companies will also develop spacesuits for use inside spacecraft and for spacewalks, addressing problems with earlier suit designs. Sierra Space is currently working on two cargo Dream Chasers, with both cargo and crew versions to follow, supporting the company's commercial space station development.
