Amazon is getting into the private space station business.
The company has joined the Orbital Reef commercial space station project to provide supply-chain logistics and Amazon Web Services for the private orbital outpost, which is slated to launch by the late 2020s. The Orbital Reef project is led by Blue Origin and Sierra Space, and is a partnership with Boeing, Redwire Space, Genesis Engineering, and Arizona State University. Amazon’s role in Orbital Reef, which the company announced at the 37th National Space Symposium, includes overseeing logistics using its Distribution and Fulfillment Solutions arm. And Amazon Web Services will offer networking, cloud computing and communications solutions for the station’s fight operations, development and design teams.
