The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) will be tested for about two years. With sensors tracked include the amount of radiation, the average temperature and the possible impact of wandering debris.
The next week, it is checked whether everything is airtight, the following week the new room will for the first time enter . It can be folded compact and take less space. That’s a big advantage on long space journeys, for example to Mars
Thursday, BEAM was already stabbing after a few centimeters
