NASA's cooperation, and commercial space company's offer to replace the heavy "cans", can now deployed in cheap inflatable bounce house habitat as astronauts home space.
A $1.78 million test project will be sent to the international space station of the air chamber, can be compressed into A 7 feet delivery pipe, officials said Wednesday in north Las Vegas biggs ROM space in the press conference.
If the module identification in two years the space station and durable, it can open the door habitat in the moon and the mission to Mars, NASA engineers Glenn miller said.
Deputy director of NASA's Riga eph said, the agency chose biggs ROM contract, because it is the only one in aeration technology work.
Founder and President Robert biggs ROM, his wealth in the hospitality industry in 1999 to enter the space business, framed GAMBIT, the world real estate enterprise. He wants to sell his spare tire habitat science company and the rich of fortune looking for space hotel.
NASA is 2015, 13 feet of airship of modules installed in a space station port. Biggs ROM plan next year sales independent space homes.
The new technology provides the three times as much room, the existing aluminum models, also is easier, cheaper establishment, miller said.
The artist's rendering module like a tin of clown nose grafting to host. This is almost no big enough to be called a room. Miller will describing it as a big wardrobe with soft mat white walls and gear and small invention, string two center of the beam.
And jephthah said Wednesday that will greatly sent to the space of a small gas pipe prices start a full-size module.
"Let's face it, in the space into consideration thing is the most expensive launch," she said. "NASA, therefore, the importance of size really cannot be overstated."
The cooperation is foreign bag NASA another important step, no longer have the golden period of budget and common configuration files. The agency has been handed over to the private company, already retired space shuttle in 2011, now rely on the Russian spacecraft carrying American astronauts on the international space station.
The astronauts will test the ability, bladder cancer, known as biggs ROM extensible activities module, or beam, bear heat, radiation, sundry attacks. Can also try some adventure in the spare room to sleep, this is the first into space by a piece of Fried open private real estate, adding eph said.
Biggs he said, NASA brand, he began to sales aramid habitat several times the size of the test module.
"This may be our kick-off years, with customers to talk," he said. "We have shown that we can perform what we were talking about."
Biggs ROM, introduced a small module prototype in 2006 from NASA's patent licensing, will depend on the Boeing company and southern California rocket development space exploration technology companies to provide transportation.
Sixty days hotel will cost $25 million, not including 27500000 dollars to there, back to the cost.
Biggs ROM prediction main customers will be flow up countries, including Brazil, Singapore and the united Arab emirates said: "have a hard time getting their astronauts into orbit", can use private space station, trucking, and establish prestige.
The biggest challenge will be transportation technology of folding module through the below zero space, and won't tear or any part of the rupture, miller said.
When it arrived at the space station in 2015, scientists will blow up and let it sit for a few days to test for leaks. If it doesn't hold promise, NASA will take part is pay biggs, the price of cheap goods.
Standing beside the scale model research station, on Mars and the moon, miller said, this project will encourage commercial enterprises go one way, NASA bligh jersey space.
He added, it can also help realize space exploration tasks, to transport astronauts to orbit the holy grail of more than a year.
"It's the only way to do this was to enlarge, look you three people go to Mars living space," he said. "You can get three times the volume of cans, and in the same ferry, you can go to."
