BEAM Coverage on NASA TV Contunues

NASA Television coverage is again underway for the operations to resume shortly to add air to the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) attached to the International Space Station. NASA TV can be seen at https://www.nasa.gov/nasatv

The module has been slowly expanding for the last three hours as NASA Astronaut Jeff Williams has introduced eight short bursts of air to the BEAM, allowing the module to stabilize and expand in between bursts as flight controllers monitor the operation.
