Starlab Space, a joint venture of Voyager Space and Airbus Space and Defence, has selected SpaceX’s Starship to launch the Starlab commercial space station on a single flight. The station, designed to be launched on a single flight, will be made of stainless steel and features a large habitation and laboratory module with a smaller service module attached to it for power and propulsion. The companies did not disclose terms of the agreement or a projected launch date, but are confident that Starlab will be launched before the decommissioning of the International Space Station in 2030.
