 -Unlike many other early space station concepts, this design actually made it out of the concept phase and into production, though no models were ever flown. This particular station was 30-feet and expandable. It was designed to be taken to outer space in a small package and then inflate in orbit. The station could, in theory, have been big enough for 1 to 2 people to use for a long period of time. A similar 24 foot station was built by the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation for NASA test use. The concept of space inflatables was revived in the 1990s.\\

-Yet the most interesting space hotel right now is perhaps Bigelow's inflatable Space Station. Robert is betting 500 million of his own money on the project. If it works out, the Las Vegas Budget suites owner will not only be able to offer tickets at 8 million dollars,8 million dollars, or rooms at 1 million per night - but he'll build a chain...on the Moon, Mars - and beyond.\\

+High above the Earth the Space Shuttle Endeavor launches a new type of instrument - an inflatable antenna. The officially designated Inflatable Antenna Experiment was released in 1996 as part of a Spartan satellite - which contains many scientific experiments. The antenna is roughly the size of a tennis court and is even visible from Earth. At the end of the mission, the antenna will be jettisoned while the rest of the Spartan is recovered by the Shuttle. The function of an antenna is to broadcast radio messages, and the large dish at the end helps focus radio waves into a narrow beam which can be detected over long distances.\\

+-The TransHab inflatable module was a concept proposed as a crew quarters for the International Space Station. The concept was tested but not chosen as a potential Station crew quarters, and NASA at present is no longer pursuing the concept.The concept for TransHab originated at NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, in 1997 as a possible design for an inflatable living quarters on future Mars-bound spacecraft.
+Multi-level Living Quarters
+The TransHab, a design concept, could provide a large volume habitation module for the International Space Station while demonstrating its use for future transit spacecraft. The TransHab would be an inflatable living quarters as opposed to the more conventional space cylinder originally planned for the habitation module.\\
