"Airbus and Voyager Space Forge Transatlantic Partnership to Build Next-Gen Space Station"
TL;DR
Airbus and Voyager Space have formed a joint venture to build a private version of the International Space Station (ISS), expanding Europe's role in the project. Airbus will become a core partner in developing, building, and operating the orbital research post, replacing Lockheed Martin's role. The project, called Starlab, is one of three private concepts designed to replace the aging ISS, with plans to deploy in 2028. NASA plans to retire the ISS in 2030 and rely on private companies for scientific research in low-Earth orbit.
