Here for the first time you can read: how a space technology
start-up is pioneering work on expandable space station moduleshow
Robert Bigelow licensed the TransHab idea from NASA, and how his
company developed the technology for more than a decadehow, very
soon, a Bigelow expandable module will be docked with the
International Space Station.
At the core of Bigelow's plan is the inflatable module
technology. Tougher and more durable than their rigid counterparts,
these inflatable modules are perfectly suited for use in the space,
where Bigelow plans to link them together to form commercial space
stations. This book describes how this new breed of space stations
will be built and how the link between Bigelow Aerospace, NASA and
private companies can lead to a new economy a space economy.
Finally, the book touches on Bigelow's aspirations beyond low Earth
orbit, plans that include the landing of a base on the lunar
surface and the prospect of missions to Mars."
