Commercial ISS Module Cancelled

Spacehab owns and operates supply and research modules that are carried on NASA's space shuttles. Its modules also supply Russia's Mir space station with items ranging from food to clothing to technical equipment.

Spacehab announced a partnership with Energia to develop a commercial module called Enterprise for the station’s Russian segment. Enterprise never moved beyond the concept stage.

Spacehab, a Houston-based firm that builds laboratory modules for conducting research in orbit, in 2000 spun off a venture with the Russians called Space Media, which would use a new commercial module, Enterprise, that the company hopes to dock to the space station in order to “develop space-related media and edutainment [sic] opportunities.” The business plan may have been slightly ahead of its time, however. A year later Space Media was laying off staff, and is now biding its time before rushing to put the first studio in orbit.
