SpaceX launch: Falcon 9 rocket launches first inflatable habitat into space

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launched from Florida, carrying the Dragon cargo capsule to the International Space Station (ISS) with 7000 pounds of supplies. Included in the cargo is the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), a prototype space habitat. The BEAM will be attached to the ISS for two years, where it will undergo tests for structural durability and resistance to pressure, temperature, and radiation. Made from a Kevlar-type material, BEAM offers protection against space debris.
