Sierra Space tests 10-ton Ghost cargo pod for 90-minute global delivery
Original: US military-backed cargo pod promises 90-minute orbital delivery anywhere on Earth, 10-ton Ghost vehicle gets first real-world test — Sierra Space drops radio and whiskey from 68,500 feet to test StarCraft-like supply drops
Sierra Space, with backing from the US military, is developing the Ghost, a 10-ton cargo vehicle designed to deliver supplies from orbit anywhere on Earth within about 90 minutes. In a first real-world test, the company dropped a radio and a bottle of whiskey from a balloon at 68,500 feet to demonstrate precision supply drops. The project evokes video game-style rapid logistics and could reshape how the military moves urgent cargo worldwide.
Why now: The novel combination of military funding, orbital delivery promises and a quirky real-world test is drawing attention to rapid global logistics technology.
