Blue Origin has partnered with Sierra Space to build Orbital Reef, a commercially developed and operated space station in low Earth orbit. It’s being called a “mixed use business park,” but in space, and with human-centered space architecture as well as world-class services and amenities. The goal is to minimize cost and complexity for both traditional space operators and new arrivals.
This space station will offer all of the services and systems to meet the needs of a multitude of customers, including researchers, manufacturers, as well as tourists. Orbital Reef is targeted at sovereign nations without space programs, media / travel companies, funded entrepreneurs, sponsored inventors, and future-minded investors. Once completed, we imagine SpaceX, NASA and Blue Origin flights docking on a regular basis.

For over sixty years, NASA and other space agencies have developed orbital space flight and space habitation, setting us up for commercial business to take off in this decade. We will expand access, lower the cost, and provide all the services and amenities needed to normalize space flight. A vibrant business ecosystem will grow in low Earth orbit, generating new discoveries, new products, new entertainments, and global awareness,” said Brent Sherwood, Senior Vice President of Advanced Development Programs for Blue Origin.
