As part of NASA’s XHAB initiative, the University of Vermont (UVM) student design team is contributing to this program with a novel approach concept that combines Space Race era concepts – inflatable space structures – with 21st century materials and technology: braided reinforce inflatable “air beams” and carbon composite structures. NASA’s challenge for a team of senior engineering design students was to develop an “inflatable, habitable & deployable space airlock”.
