Transhab was a concept pursued by NASA to develop the technology for expandable habitats inflated by air in space. Although the project has been shut down due to budget constraints, Bigelow Aerospace has purchased the rights to the patents developed by NASA and is pursuing a similar scheme for a civilian space station. The company's Genesis I module, a one-third scale version of a larger space habitat, launched July 12, 2006 aboard a Russian Dnepr rocket.
