"Starship to Launch Starlab: A New Era in Commercial Space Stations"

The Starlab commercial space station, a joint venture between Voyager Space and Airbus, will launch on SpaceX's Starship rocket with a habitable volume equivalent to half of the International Space Station's. It is set to launch no earlier than 2028 and will fit inside Starship's payload bay in a single flight. The involvement of Airbus makes Starlab attractive to European nations as a destination, potentially providing an advantage in finding customers beyond NASA to support the expense of flying and operating the station.
