The paper analyzes the achievements in the development and use of technologies of inflatable transformable modules (TMs) purposed for manned space exploration. The characteristics of experimental models of TMs obtained in the USA and Russia are given. The advantages of the TM technology as compared with existing traditional technologies are shown. The problems and features of the use of transformable modules for manned space complexes are evaluated. The main aspects of cosmonauts’ activity when operating them are discussed.
