Proven Innovation for the Next Destination - it's not just a catchy phrase but a testament to twenty successful years of "no box" creativity and skilled engineering that exemplify where SPACEHAB has been and where this true trailblazer is headed. August 22, 1984 marks the date of SPACEHAB's beginning, which started with an idea, sketched out on a cocktail napkin, for increasing the capabilities of the space shuttle while opening the doors for space commercialization and tourism. Two decades later, SPACEHAB, along with a growing list of valued and distinguished customers, is setting the pace for space commerce initiatives; successfully supporting 18 space shuttle missions and over 200 satellite flights while maintaining an active role in the International Space Station program.

As a provider of expert manned and unmanned payload processing services, a developer of flight hardware assets, and an entrepreneurial force in space access applications, SPACEHAB is the bridge from the current age of government space exploration and experimentation to the future of private space utilization. Space is a venue for commercial activity, a site for recreation and entertainment, and a wellspring of prosperity in ways that are not currently imagined. And with the implementation of the Nation's Vision for Space Exploration, more possibilities are just within reach. Watch SPACEHAB build upon demonstrated knowledge and success, embarking today on another twenty years at the helm of this newest business frontier - space.
