The latest news from Bigelow Aerospace as of late Thursday, July 13.
All Systems are operating within expected parameters. Temperature, avionics, solar arrays and battery power all remain positive. All of the module’s initial orbits have had direct sunlight, which has helped in charging the main battery to maximum capacity.

Pressure onboard the spacecraft has remained constant at 7.5 pounds per square inch (PSI). That being the case, it appears that the integrity of the expandable module is good.
“We have had multiple contacts with the ship, and received several data streams,” explained Robert Bigelow, head of the space firm based in Las Vegas, Nevada. “While most of these current communication streams are dedicated to command and control of the spacecraft, we have downloaded several small images from the onboard cameras and hope to get more as more bandwidth in the data stream becomes available.”
