Inflatable Structures Technology Handbook

Not exactly sure what this is part of, it says added to the system July 2010 but I can't find the other chapters. Neat look at Transhab either way.

The technologies required to design, fabricate, and utilize an inflatable module for space applications has been demonstrated and proven by the TransHab team during the development phase of the program. Through testing and hands-on development several issues about inflatable space structures have been addressed , such as: ease of manufacturing, structural integrity, micrometeorite protection, folding , and vacuum deployment. The TransHab inflatable technology development program has proven that not only are inflatable structures a viable option, but they also offer significant advantages over conventional metallic structures.

Thanks, rdale. A very interesting read, gives a good insight into Bigelow's habitats.
