Sierra Space Careers: Dare to Dream

We honor those that are not afraid to dream big dreams, those that tenaciously chase their dreams even when others say it cannot be done. Those are Dreams Worth Chasing.

At Sierra Space, we envision a future where humanity lives and works in space, on moons, and on distant planets. Our mission isn’t restricted to the few; instead, we see a future where all people can choose to live, work, discover, and explore beyond our planet.
