Sierra Space corporation is developing a new form of Military logistics. It has tested launch vehicle which can deliver cargo from Low Earth Orbit to anywhere on Earth in just 90 minutes.
Ghost reentry vehicle system is being developed by Sierra Space. This system has capacity to hold critical cargoes up to 10 tons in orbit for years and will deliver on demand to anywhere on Earth.
This type of logistics will eliminate the traditional transportation through sea, air and land. And it can be the game changer in modern warfare.
In the current high altitude ballon test, the Ghost system successfully recovered electronics and liquid payload after being dropped from up to 68500 ft.
