Item 8.01. Other Events

On October 20, 2005, SPACEHAB, Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to its registration statement (the “Amendment”) in connection with its offer to exchange and consent solicitation for up to $63,250,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2010 (the “Exchange Notes”) for any and all of its existing 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the “Outstanding Notes”). The Amendment decreases the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes that must be tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date from $60,087,500 to $50,600,000. The Amendment also decreases the conversion price for the Exchange Notes from a range of $2.12 to $2.50 to a fixed price of $1.50 and decreases the target price per share of its common stock that triggers mandatory conversion of the Exchange Notes from $3.25 to $1.95, if its common stock exceeds this target for 20 consecutive trading days. In addition, the Amendment adds a covenant placing restrictions on the sale of or placement of liens upon Astrotech Space Operations, Inc., Astrotech Florida Holdings, Inc. and their respective assets. Under the Amendment, the Company extends the expiration date of the offer to exchange and consent solicitation until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 16, 2005, subject to further extension.

As of the close of business on October 19, 2005, $43,656,000 aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes had been tendered and not withdrawn.

The Company also announced that that the special meeting of shareholders originally scheduled to be held on October 5, 2005 and postponed until October 25, 2005, has now been further postponed until 10:00 a.m., Houston time, on November 10, 2005.
