TL;DR Summary

Airbus has unveiled designs for a three-deck space station called LOOP, which includes a greenhouse and a centrifuge that simulates Earth-like gravitational conditions. The station is designed to be more spacious than existing stations and can be launched within the next decade. It is compatible with upcoming super-heavy launchers such as SpaceX's Starship. The station is suited for a four-person crew but can temporarily host eight people and can be used for commercial or institutional purposes in the future. The International Space Station (ISS) has outlived its 15-year lifetime and is expected to deorbit in 2030.
