"SpaceX's Starship to Launch Starlab's Private Space Station into Orbit"

Starlab Space has chosen SpaceX's Starship megarocket to launch its giant steel space station, Starlab, into orbit in 2028, as it is the only rocket capable of lifting the massive structure in a single flight. The space station, a joint venture between Voyager Space and Airbus, will be fully equipped on the ground for seamless operations and will cater to space agencies, researchers, and commercial companies for various experiments. The megarocket, still in its experimental phase, has a lift capacity of 150 metric tons to low Earth orbit and is designed for full reusability.

"Starlab: The First Commercial Space Station Aboard Starship"

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.
