Bob Bigelow has released his first baby picture.
The Genesis 1 space station test article is working so flawlessly the Bigelow crew is wandering about with glazed eyes or collapsing to recover from long weeks of sleep deprivation.
The module unwound and inflated to its full 8 foot diameter, the solar panels are delivering power and they are receiving more telemetry data than they can handle.
Good.
Amid all the dreadful shit going on, it’s good to see a good thing happen
Will this particular station ever be manned? Or is it basically a test rig only?
How long until Bigelow stations out-volume that international tin can thing?
Test rig only.
They can now start working on the full size one.
The problem is there’s no transport to get people to a ful size one at this stage. Of course, the key point here is that now its designed and developed and working, NASA should be buying a few as modules for the ISS and saving themselves some money.
Plus ca change…
Amazing!
