- 1989-1990 study conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Supported by ILC Dover
- Configuration & design study of Inflatable Habitat structures for Space Station use
- Standard habitat modules were developed
- Each module was comprised of compartments
- Redundant pressure containment systems were proposed
|
|
Inflatable Compartment
- 5m OD x 3.5m length
- 1m dia central corridor
- 52KPad Operational Pressure
- Kevlar webbing & fabric "quilted" restraint
- 128 Kg/cm hoop stress, 41Kg/cm longitudinal stress
- Tedlar/urethane laminate bladder (low permeation)
- Simple approach
- Lower leakage potential

Rigid Floor Compartment
- 5m OD x 2.5m length
- 1m dia central corridor
- 52KPad Operational Pressure
- Kevlar webbing & fabric restraint
- 128 Kg/cm hoop stress, 64Kg/cm longitudinal stress
- Tedlar/urethane laminate bladder (low permeation)
- Lower mass approach
- Diameter constrained packing
