Not only would space travel be more accessible to the general public, but it would be more affordable. To make this a reality, companies today are exploring different ways of reducing flight costs. Digitalization is proving to be one of the best ways to achieve this because it allows for the design, testing, and flying of a spacecraft before anything gets built.
Joining the podcast today is Tom Vice, Chief Executive Officer at Sierra Space. A company building the Dream Chaser, a spaceplane set to begin NASA resupply missions to the International Space Station in 2023. Sierra Space also developed the LIFE habitat, an inflatable, modular commercial space research center – with unlimited upside potential. Joining the conversation is Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens. Dale has over 30 years of experience in engineering design, development, and program leadership within the aerospace industry.
In this episode, “The Digitalized Future of Space Travel” you’ll learn about the progress being made in space travel as a result of digitalization. You’ll learn more about the technology Sierra Spaced used to create their Dream Chaser and LIFE projects. Additionally, you’ll discover the special role Siemens Xcelerator is playing with these projects.
Space travel... Space exploration... We are at the brink of some wonderful innovations that will change the way we see space forever. I hope you’ll join us for a mind-blowing experience.
In this episode, you will learn:
● The main focus of Sierra Space. (07:36)
● The changes in space exploration that we can expect to see in the next ten years. (13:49)

Product Design and Engineering - Taking Engineering Agile
Talking Aerospace Today
09/10/20 • 18 min
What if you could build and test your product before the full design is complete, and actually start to learn something about it? What if your integration was not just about managing a bunch of interfaces around suppliers but also about managing your technical risks so that you could manage your schedule better? What if you could dissolve all these silos that exist between teams and between partners and really, truly accelerate your innovation? You can do that, by rethinking your product development approach.
Today, in our third podcast of the ‘Accelerating Productivity Through Digital Transformation’ series, we'll be discussing how to accelerate product design by introducing agile product development. What is agile product development? Why should you care? And how Siemens helps customers in this area?
