Houston, Texas, February 12, 2008 — SPACEHAB, Incorporated (NASDAQ: SPAB), a provider of commercial space services, today announced the Company has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with certain investors for the purchase of 55,000 shares of the Company’s Series D convertible preferred  stock for a total price of $5.5 million.
