DENVER \u2013 02 August, 2023<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Voyager Space<\/a>, a global leader in space exploration, and Airbus (OTC: EADSY<\/a>)<\/strong> Defence and Space, the largest aeronautics and space company in Europe, today announced an agreement paving the way for a transatlantic joint venture to develop, build, and operate Starlab, a commercial space station planned to succeed the International Space Station. The US-led joint venture will bring together world-class leaders in the space domain, while further uniting American and European interests in space exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voyager was awarded a $160 million Space Act Agreement (SAA) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in December 2021 via\u00a0Nanoracks, part of Voyager\u2019s exploration segment. Part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Low Earth Orbit Development Program, this SAA sets the foundation to create Starlab, a continuously crewed, free-flying space station to serve NASA and a global customer base of space agencies and researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program\u2019s mission is to maintain continued human presence and American leadership in low-Earth orbit (LEO). Today\u2019s announcement builds on an agreement made public in\u00a0January 2023, where Voyager selected Airbus to provide technical design support and expertise for Starlab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the US entity, Starlab will have a European joint venture subsidiary to directly serve the European Space Agency (ESA) and its member state space agencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
