Orbital Reef is a planned commercial space station in low Earth orbit, led by Blue Origin and Sierra Space. It aims to be a "mixed-use business park" for commerce, research, and tourism, offering services like transportation, habitation, and equipment accommodation. Orbital Reef is supported by partners like Boeing, Redwire Space, and Arizona State University, and has a Space Act Agreement with NASA for commercial LEO development.
