Bigelow Aerospace is a North Las Vegas, Nevada-based company in the aviation and aerospace component manufacturing industry with 51-200 employees. Founded in 1999, it develops expandable systems for space applications, drawing on NASA heritage designs intended to offer greater volume, safety, opportunity, and economy compared with aluminum structures. The company aims to provide affordable destinations for diverse uses in low Earth orbit, deep space, or on other celestial bodies, and has deployed expandable habitats including Genesis I (launched in 2006) and Genesis II (launched in 2007), as well as BEAM, which was launched to the International Space Station on April 8, 2016 in partnership with NASA. BEAM is described as a technology demonstrator and the first human-rated expandable habitat of its kind. In 2011, Bigelow Aerospace signed a memorandum of understanding with Space Florida to collaborate on opportunities to use its technology; in 2020 it reportedly laid off all employees due to the coronavirus pandemic, and in 2021 it filed a lawsuit against NASA regarding compensation for work performed.
