Bigelow Modules Draw Interest from Six Governments

摘要

Bigelow Aerospace says it has received formal expressions of interest from six governments in leasing space aboard the company's planned inflatable space habitats that could begin launching as soon as 2014.rnRobert Bigelow, founder and chief executive of North Las Vegas, Nev.-based Bigelow Aerospace, said the company has signed memoranda of understanding with the governments of Australia, Netherlands, Japan, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. These agreements are not financial commitments, he said, adding that he hopes to secure such commitments by 2012.
