Starlab (space station)

Common card · No. 312047

Starlab is a low Earth orbit (LEO) commercial space station currently under development by Starlab Space, a joint venture between the U.S. company Voyager Technologies (formerly Voyager Space and majority shareholder in Nanoracks) and European company Airbus. If development continues beyond the initially funded phase in 2021–24, then Starlab would be launched before the decommissioning of the ISS, no earlier than 2029. The development program has received partial funding from both NASA and the ESA. The station will serve as a weightlessness research laboratory, particularly for the pharmaceutical industry, and will be open to American and European astronauts, but will not be open to space tourism.
