SpaceX Starship just won a BIG contract to launch NASA's new space station!
Starlab Space, a collaboration between Voyager Space and Airbus Space and Defense, announced on January 31 that it had selected SpaceX's monumental Starship rocket for a unique mission launch from its orbiting outpost.
Dylan Taylor, President and CEO of Voyager Space, noted: “SpaceX’s track record of success and reliability led our team to select Starship to launch Starlab into orbit. SpaceX is the unrivaled leader in high-cadence launches, and we're thrilled that Starlab is doing it. be launched into orbit in a single flight by Starship./"
In a statement, SpaceX said: "Starship will revolutionize access to space, enabling the launch of entire space stations like Starlab in a single mission./"
According to the plan, NASA and Starlab developers aim to have the four-person commercial station operational before 2030, coinciding with the planned cessation of operations of the International Space Station (ISS).
NASA has long advocated for the development of private outposts, ensuring that its astronauts will have a place to live and work in low Earth orbit once the ISS mission is complete.
In December 2021, NASA revealed its $415 million allocation to three companies – Blue Origin, Nanoracks (part of Voyager Space) and Northrop Grumman – to advance their commercial space station projects. Additionally, NASA has a separate agreement with Houston-based Axiom Space, which is moving forward with its independent private outpost.
However, developments have occurred since then. Notably, Northrop Grumman chose to abandon its station project and instead merged with the Voyager Space team, a move that also brought European aerospace giant Airbus into the fold. Voyager and Airbus created a joint venture named Starlab Space LLC, responsible for building and operating the Starlab station. Meanwhile, the Blue Origin-led consortium continues to develop its outpost concept, dubbed Orbital Reef.
Coming back to recent updates, Voyager and Airbus announced the completion of the Starlab Space joint venture on January 9, following its initial announcement in August. Voyager had been collaborating with Airbus since January of the previous year on the Starlab design after entering into a previous partnership with Lockheed Martin.
The companies meticulously designed Starlab to launch in a single-flight configuration. The station includes a large habitation and laboratory module, accompanied by a smaller service module responsible for power and propulsion.
