Bigelow Aerospace has announced plans to launch its first human habitable spacecraft, the Sundancer.

The Sundancer module will provide 180 cubic meters of habitable space and will come fully equipped with life-support systems, attitude control and on-orbit maneuverability, as well as reboost and deorbit capability. It could support a three-person crew and be on orbit in the second half of 2010.
