Sierra Space<\/strong> conducted a crucial test in which it subjected its inflatable space station <\/strong>structure to pressure to the breaking point. The shell of the station, developed by the California, USA-based company, is made of expandable fabrics that, once inflated, act as a rigid structure.<\/p>\n\n

The explosion of the inflatable space station<\/h2>\n\n

The test, called Maximum Burst Pressure (UBP) Test<\/a><\/strong> (UBP), consisted of inflating the prototype to failure<\/strong> in order to evaluate the strength of the materials in the space environment.<\/p>\n\n

The full-scale device reached a pressure of 77 psi before exploding, exceeding the level recommended by NASA by 27%. NASA<\/a><\/strong> of 60.8 psi.<\/p>\n
