"Blue Origin Anticipates Split in Space Station Partnership, Sources Say"

Blue Origin, the aerospace company founded by Jeff Bezos, is expected to dissolve its corporate partnership with Sierra Space to build a commercial space station called Orbital Reef. The company has reassigned a majority of its employees working on the project to other programs, such as Blue Origin's moon lander contract with NASA and an in-space mobility project. The head of Blue Origin's Advanced Development Programs overseeing Orbital Reef, Brent Sherwood, plans to leave the company by the end of the year. The partnership between Blue Origin and Sierra Space has reportedly soured, leading to disagreements between the companies' managements. Blue Origin is expected to continue working on its own version of a space station without Sierra, but details of those plans are unclear.
