Advancements in New Space Stations by NASA's Commercial Partners

NASA's commercial space station partners, Axiom Space, Blue Origin's Orbital Reef, and Voyager Space's Starlab, are making progress in designing and developing their orbital destinations. Axiom Space is on track to launch its first module, Axiom Hab One, to the International Space Station in 2026, while Blue Origin recently completed tests for a window system and a structural demonstration for Orbital Reef. Voyager Space's Starlab completed milestones for an optical link demonstration and alternative urine processor demonstration. These developments are part of NASA's efforts to maintain a continuous human presence in low Earth orbit and provide services to NASA and others.
