Ua puhi ʻia ka ea ma nā kekona he mau kekona. ʻO ka hopena, ma kahi o 23.10: 1,7 Polani manawa, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka BEAM he XNUMX mau mika.

Ua komo ka Astronaut Jeff Williams i ka module BEAM.

ʻOi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi pule ma hope o ka hoʻoulu ʻana, ua lilo ʻo Jeff Williams lāua ʻo Oleg Skripochka i mau astronauts mua e holo i ka International Space Station i loko o kahi module inflatable. Ua lawa ʻo Williams ma laila no ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā laʻana o ka ea a me ka ʻikepili ʻike kino. Ma hope koke iho o kona komo ʻana i loko, ua hui pū ʻo Russian Skripochka me ia. Ma hope o kekahi mau minuke, haʻalele lāua. BEAMa laila pani i ka puka.

Manaʻo ka poʻe mea hana i ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻoholo a NASA, akā pono e hoʻohui ʻia ua pani ʻo Bigelow Aerospace i kahi kuʻikahi me ka hui ʻAmelika e hoʻokuʻu ana i nā uku i ka lewa, United Launch Alience. Wahi a ka ʻaelike, pono e hoʻouna ʻia ka B330 i ka orbit i 2020.
