Bigelow Aerospace Has Deposits for 16 People to Fly to ISS on SpaceX Crew Dragon Flights

Bigelow Space Operations has made significant deposits for the ability to fly up to 16 people to the International Space Station on four dedicated SpaceX Crew Dragon flights.

This would be taking advantage of SpaceX possibly having the Crew Dragon man rated by the end of 2019 and NASA offering $35000 per day pricing for the ISS.

  1. I think the cheapest you could get is 7 people on a Dragon manned capsule for the $60 million/launch. So that’s like $8.5 million/person.
    Which still isn’t THAT bad. It may be enough to warrant expanding the ISS with Bigelow expandables and having governments, corporations, universities and private individuals to visit.
    And more so as launch costs drop.

  2. I’m waiting to go up until the really big Bigelow modules are put up. Then you would have some ability to fly around. It should also be cheaper than the space station tin can.

  3. I would love to see the justification that would allow a movie crew to go down this path vs faking 0g here on earth via cgi or even quick takes on the “Vomit Comet”.

  4. $35k/d?
    That’s less than an order of magnitude more than some Earth hotels that I’ve looked at (but very quickly rejected).

    I’m impressed.
