Starlab Space LLC Teams Up With European Leader for Next-Gen Space Station

Starlab Space LLC has announced a significant partnership with Space Applications Services, a European leader in space engineering. This collaboration will enhance Starlab's capabilities and expand its global entry, with a critical design review for their next-generation space station scheduled for the end of the year.

Space Applications Services, based in Belgium with offices in the Netherlands and the U.S., brings a wealth of expertise to the table. They specialise in avionics, payload development, mission integration, and operations control software. This expertise will be invaluable to Starlab, which is developing an AI-enabled commercial space station for scientific discovery and technological advancement.

The partnership includes collaboration on Space Applications Services' Space Innovation Laboratories under development across Europe. This will not only extend Starlab's global reach but also provide access to new research communities and markets. Starlab, led from the U.S., already boasts an impressive roster of global partners, including Voyager Technologies, Airbus, Mitsubishi Corporation, MDA Space, Palantir Technologies, and the European Space Agency.

With Space Applications Services on board as a strategic partner and equity owner, Starlab's capabilities in space infrastructure, payload integration, and mission operations are set to be greatly enhanced. This partnership promises to expand Starlab's global footprint and strengthen its position in the commercial space race. The upcoming critical design review will be a significant milestone in this exciting journey.
