Airbus and US startup Voyager this week announced a joint venture for the project. The two companies will develop, build, and operate Starlab, which aims to further unite the US and Europe in space.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>This pioneers continued European and American leadership in space that takes humanity forward,\u201d said Jean-Marc Nasr, Head of Space Systems at Airbus. \u201cTogether our teams are focused on creating an unmatched space destination both technologically and as a business operation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The US-led venture plans to produce a commercial successor to the ISS, which is due to de-orbit in 2031. The new space station would serve both Nasa and the European Space Agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are establishing this joint venture to reliably meet the known demand from global space agencies while opening new opportunities for commercial users,\u201d said Matthew Kuta, President at Voyager Space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starlab is one of several projects competing to replace the ISS. Its main challengers are Jeff Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin, which envisions a \u201cmixed-use business park\u201d called Orbital Reef,<\/span>\u00a0and Northrop Grumman, which wants to build a modular, free-flying space station.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nasa has provided funding for all three concepts. In December 2021, the space agency awarded $160mn<\/span> (\u20ac146mn) to the Voyager venture, $130mn (\u20ac119mn) to Orbital Reef, and $125.6mn (\u20ac115mn) to Northrop Grumman\u2019s project.<\/p>\n

As a condition of Nasa\u2019s support, every proposal had to be commercially viable. The space agency will now determine which of the contenders merit further backing.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
