Airbus, Voyager Space to build ISS replacement together FMTNews FMTBusiness
PARIS: Airbus and US space exploration firm Voyager Space announced today a joint venture to develop Starlab, a commercial alternative to replace the International Space Station by the end of the decade.
In replacing the ISS, Nasa plans to purchase services rather than manage programmes itself, as it already does with sending astronauts into space.Nasa has also awarded US$130 million to Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, and US$126 million to the giant Northrop Grumman to develop their own space station projects.
Starlab’s inclusion of Airbus, which began providing technical support in January, will allow Voyager Space to offer services to the European Space Agency , receive its astronauts and provide industrial returns to Europe. The European group can draw on its expertise in developing automatic transfer vehicles and the European Service Modules designed for the US lunar mission Artemis, he said.
