NASA Will Try to Pump Up Inflatable Space Station Room Again Saturday

NASA will try again to inflate the International Space Station's new experimental habitat this Saturday (May 28). NASA called off the first attempt to pump up the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) on Thursday (May 26), after noticing higher-than-expected pressures inside the habitat. "We're very confident that we will get it fully expanded at some point in time," Jason Crusan, director of NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems division, told reporters during a teleconference today
