e to implement an optical window through the flexible structure and an own power supply by utility of an unfoldable solar array and also an active thermal control system. In a first step the objective of the technology project is the implementation of a ground test model allowing to verify the system for the planned space mission to the ISS.The ground test model will be completed until the end of this year,followed by tests which will lead to the begin of a design and development phase for the flight module at the end of 2003. In 2001 an optical window has been installed into the flexible shell as well as an deployable platform for the camera and the payload units. The system has been tested already for pressure tightness and for the deploying procedures. During the last months the design and test of a M/OD impact protection system has been performed and will be integrated within the next months. The project shall pave the way to build larger manned inflatable compartments for missions to moon and mars. A further step could be the implementation of a larger inflatable living module at the ISS as an enhancement of ISS habitation capacity.
