The June 2009 BAASS monthly: 'as of June 30, 2009 BAASS has forty five full time employees and six part time employees in addition to the administrator', some transferred from Bigelow Aerospace engineering. It hoped 'in the next month' to hire the first year's 'full complement of staff (approximately 50-60 personnel)'. Kelleher has said the team was about 50 by the end of May 2009; the monthly puts it under that a month later.

Claim
The June 2009 BAASS monthly: 'as of June 30, 2009 BAASS has forty five full time employees and six part time employees in addition to the administrator', some transferred from Bigelow Aerospace engineering. It hoped 'in the next month' to hire the first year's 'full complement of staff (approximately 50-60 personnel)'. Kelleher has said the team was about 50 by the end of May 2009; the monthly puts it under that a month later.
Comparison
- Kelleher, Mystery Wire interview with Knapp and Lacatski (2021-10-12): "I think by the end of May of 2009, we had a team of about 50 people." Hiring ran "within a four or five month period" from his November 2008 start. Wayback 2025-11-18, sha256 aedc5440…cbe0 (live page is bot-walled). The June monthly's 45 FT + 6 PT a month later is below that estimate.
Gaps
- The April 2009 monthly (D170 p4, OCR) gives 35 FT + 6 PT, per Shannon's read; not checked against the PDF.
