Bigelow Aerospace Announces the Creation of Bigelow Space Operations
Las Vegas, NV (February 20, 2018) - Bigelow Aerospace is excited to introduce Bigelow Space Operations (BSO),
a new commercial space company that is the sales, operational and customer
service company that manages and operates space stations developed by Bigelow Aerospace.
With the two launches of B330-1 and B330-2 expected in 2021, the time is now in 2018 to begin BSO
activity. These single structures that house humans on a permanent basis will be the largest, most
complex structures ever known as stations for human use in space.
The customers that B330 will seek to accommodate will be very diverse.
Bigelow Space Operations has a mission to market and operate these and other space stations
including future generations developed by Bigelow Aerospace that are so capable, so diverse and so
large that they can accommodate virtually unlimited use almost anywhere.
Over time, Bigelow Aerospace will manufacture a single station, launched on a single rocket that will
contain over 2.4 times the pressurized volume of the entire International Space Station, and we
intend for BSO to market and operate these also. A new manufacturing facility for these giant stations
would have to be built in Florida, Alabama or other suitable location.
But first, there is something very important that BSO must do this year. The time is now to quantify in
detail the global, national and corporate commercial space market for orbiting stations. This subject
has had ambiguity for many years. BSO will be spending millions of dollars this year to establish
concrete answers.
BSO is hiring now to fill many diverse positions. Many of you need to be willing to travel.
