Objectives and Applications
|
The Genesis program utilises space vehicles in LEO (Low Earth Orbit) with the objective of testing and validating the technologies necessary for the deployment of expandable space habitats. The primary objective is to demonstrate inflation and deployment in LEO. Genesis-1 was a pathfinder mission for the programme, which initially represented the first module of a planned inflatable Nautilus space station of Bigelow Aerospace.
