The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) is an experimental expandable space station module developed by Bigelow Aerospace, under contract to NASA, for testing as a temporary module on the International Space Station (ISS) from 2016 to at most 2028, when the contract can not be further extended.
Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) [47] 16 m 3 (565 cu ft) [48] 8 April 2016, 20:43 UTC Falcon 9 Dragon: Launch successful; currently (2022) operational, docked to ISS in orbit. Development began December 2012, built under a US$17.8 million NASA contract. Cleared to remain docked to the ISS until 2028. [49] Orbital Station Module B330 ...
The B330 (previously known as the Nautilus space complex module and BA 330) was an inflatable space habitat privately developed by Bigelow Aerospace from 2010 until 2020. [6] The design was evolved from NASA 's TransHab habitat concept.
Bigelow Aerospace has big plans for its future expandable space stations, so it has formed a whole new company for them. Called Bigelow Space Operations (BSO), the new private space company will ...
The larger BA 2100 would extend the volume and capabilities of the B330 module, which is under development as part of the Bigelow Commercial Space Station. [4] As with the B330 module, the number in the name refers to the number of cubic meters of space offered by the module when fully expanded in space (equivalent to 74,000 cubic feet). [5]
The structure would have an outside diameter of 30 feet (9.1 m) with a 30-inch (760 mm) ring interior cross-section diameter and would provide 0.08 to 0.51 G (0.8–5 m/s 2 or 2.6–16.4 ft/s 2). This test and evaluation centrifuge would have the capability to become a sleep module for ISS crew.
Genesis II is the second experimental space habitat designed and built by the private American firm Bigelow Aerospace, launched in 2007.As the second module sent into orbit by the company, this spacecraft built on the data and experience gleaned from its previously orbited sister-ship Genesis I.
