Transhab

From Free net encyclopedia

(Redirected from TransHab)

Transhab was a concept pursued by NASA to develop the technology for inflatable habitats in space. Although the project has been shut down, Bigelow Aerospace has purchased the rights to the patents developed by NASA and is pursuing a similar scheme for a civilian space station. The company's Genesis Pathfinder module, a one-third scale version of a larger space habitat, is scheduled to launch in Q1 2008 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
