ILC Dover develops and manufactures a variety of inflatable habitats, airlocks, and shelters for use in low Earth orbit and lunar/planetary exploration.
Building upon Wernher von Braun’s vision of inflatable space habitats, the work conducted by NASA in the 1960’s, ILC Dover has designed an environmental system that is not only deployable and safe, but also cost-efficient, spacious, lightweight, and capable of supporting activities in both LEO and on lunar and planetary surfaces.
Designed for commercial space stations as well as Moon and Mars missions, inflatable space habitats are set to revolutionize lunar and planetary exploration. ILC Dover’s proven systems and processes meet the stringent requirements of space habitation, ensuring the highest levels of quality, reliability and safety.
