Sierra Space

The Power Station is our new production facility for manufacturing defense-hardened Surface Mount Technology (SMT) solar arrays with industry-leading power density, resiliency, and short production lead times. Utilizing SMT solar cells attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), assembled with commercial pick-and-place technology, these high-efficiency multi-junction MWT “micro-cells” enable automated production, higher power densities, and faster lead times. This innovation supports both small- and large-scale deployable missions while offering superior performance compared to traditional solar panels.

Happy Fourth of July! This Independence Day, we celebrate the freedom to dream big and build a future where nations work together for the benefit of humanity. That’s a Dream Worth Chasing. #July4th

We are pleased to announce the opening of our new Power Station Technology Center in Colorado. This $45M facility will enable efficient high-volume production of our revolutionary solar power systems, including production for national defense applications. The Power Station has the capacity to manufacture a panel a day and a wing a week, ensuring rapid deployment of our cutting-edge SMT technology. Press Release: https://bit.ly/3ZOknVP

"Having women in engineering is essential because it brings additional perspective and experience to a team. I played softball my entire life. A well-rounded team is not a group of the same players; different positions need different skills in order to be successful. Here at Sierra Space there are remarkable engineers that happen to be women and each one of them has taught me how to be a better teammate. I think the environment we foster here allows everyone to use their particular perspective to work towards a common goal. The importance of encouraging women in STEM is similar because of their future impact to industry. We need different perspectives to solve the big problems. Imposter syndrome finds everyone so it's important to pursue something fulfilling, find something that is challenging, take risks and don't let anyone dishearten you from that." - Toni Erwin, Systems Engineer.
