The system also was designed to handle lateral movement as well as vertical descent. -The Mars Pathfinder airbag system was designed to protect the lander regardless of its orientation upon impact with the surface of the planet.

 -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.\\ -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.

-source: www.ktb.net/~billmeco/Bigelow.html +High above the Earth the Space Shuttle Endeavor launches a new type of instrument - an inflatable antennaThe 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 EarthAt 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 messagesand the large dish at the end helps focus radio waves into narrow beam which can be detected over long distances.\\
