Bigelow Aerospace seeking additional use of experimental ISS module

Quote

WASHINGTON — Bigelow Aerospace is in discussions with NASA about extended use of an experimental module added to the International Space Station last year, but both the company and the space agency say no agreement has been reached yet.

In a Jan. 18 tweet, the company said that the performance of its Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) “continues to outperform expectations.” The module, built under a NASA contract and flown to the station on a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft in April 2016, was installed on the station and expanded to its full size in late May.

NASA Extends Expandable Habitat's Time on the International Space Station

Quote

The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, known as BEAM, will remain attached to the International Space Station to provide additional performance data on expandable habitat technologies and enable new technology demonstrations. NASA awarded a sole-source contract to Bigelow Aerospace to support extension of the life of the privately-owned module, and its use to stow spare space station hardware.
