NASA sends expandable human habitat to ISS
NASA has sent an expandable human habitat to the International Space Station (ISS) called the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM). Once docked, BEAM will become roughly 13 feet long and 10.5 feet in diameter. During its two-year test mission, astronauts will enter the lightweight, fabric module to gauge how well it protects against solar radiation, space debris and contamination.
