Until now, space stations have been national or international affairs, but now two different companies, one American and one Russian, are hoping to build the world's first private space station.
In the United States, the Las Vegas-based firm Bigelow Aerospace is steadily making progress with its inflatable space station modules. Meanwhile, two Russian companies have teamed up to build the Commercial Space Station project. Both projects are aiming for launches in 2015.
