After being installed on board the International Space Station (ISS) by Canadarm2 on April 16, the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) is ready for its first test. The crew of the ISS will open up the valves between the Station and the module to allow it to expand to its full size.
Mission controllers at NASA's Johnson Space Center and at the Canadian Space Agency will use Canadarm2's cameras to monitor BEAM's inflation and help determine when it is fully deployed.
You can watch BEAM's expansion, too. Live coverage begins on NASA TV at 5:30 a.m. EDT(2:30 PDT) on May 26.
