Can Starlab offer Europe a future in Earth orbit?
Starlab, the planned commercial space station being developed by Voyager Space and Airbus, is being discussed as a possible answer to Europe's orbital ambitions once the International Space Station is retired around 2030. The question being raised is whether the station can give European astronauts and researchers continued access to low Earth orbit, and whether Europe should commit to the project or pursue other options.
Why now: With the ISS approaching retirement, Europe faces a decision on how to maintain a human presence in low Earth orbit.
