Europe's Space Ambitions Soar with Airbus, Voyager, and ESA Partnership

Airbus and Voyager Space have signed an agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to study the potential use of their Starlab commercial space station as a successor to the International Space Station (ISS). The agreement involves studying how Starlab can provide continued access to space for Europe after the retirement of the ISS, including ESA astronaut missions and research. ESA may also provide cargo and crew transportation for Starlab. This collaboration aims to extend Europe's footprint in space and ensure its leadership in the new generation of commercial space exploration.
