Description
SPACEHAB, Inc. is a Commercial Space Venture creating a manned Space Station Testbed based in the Shuttle. It is creating a near term pressurized equipment test bed module and developmental scenario for Space Station. SP ACEHAB, Inc. is committing early to Space Station with a pressurized module built with private financing. The Spacehab Module research capability simulating the Space Station interior environment will be available three to five years before IOC. Other emerging space commercialization companies and government organizations planning research and development at the Space Station are confronted with the cost and development risk barriers associated with evolving a space experiment research process into a viable commercial process at Space Station. The Spacehab Module has created a low cost, lower risk development scenario for the commercial customer at Space Station through our Space Station Simulation Module. The Spacehab Module is to be fabricated for later attachment to the Space Station, to provide an evolutionary research capability in orbit, to evolve as the industry and station hardware emerges, and to provide cost effective service through a private space commercialization organization.
