About
Starlab is Voyager Technologies’ commercial low Earth orbit space station, developed to serve as a destination for space agencies, researchers and companies after the retirement of the International Space Station. Unlike station concepts that require multiple assembly flights, Starlab is designed to launch fully assembled and functional in a single SpaceX Starship flight, envisioned as an on-orbit “science park.” Voyager leads the Starlab joint venture together with founding partner Airbus and strategic equity partners Mitsubishi Corporation and MDA Space, with additional support from Palantir (AI/digital twins), Northrop Grumman (autonomous docking and Cygnus cargo resupply), Hilton (crew hospitality design), Journey (interior design), Space Applications Services and Ohio State University. NASA has awarded the program a Space Act Agreement valued at more than $217 million as part of the agency’s Commercial LEO Destinations initiative.
