Inflatable Space Baron Bigelow Says He Wants A Disney Space Station
The first human-rated inflatable space habitat just made it to the International Space Station last weekend, but the man behind it is already dreaming even bigger. Robert Bigelow, the hotel baron owner of Budget Suites and founder/president of Bigelow Aerospace (makers of the BEAM habitat that's set to be attached to the space station), announced tonight that his spacefaring company has struck a deal with the United Launch Alliance (ULA) to begin sending larger inflatable space habitats up into orbit in 2020.
The habitat in question would be the B-330, which offers 330 cubic meters (12,000 cubic feet) of volume, compared to the smaller BEAM (565 cubic feet). It would get up into space not aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, as the BEAM did, but rather on the top of one of ULA's Atlas V rockets.
