Starlab is a LEO (low Earth orbit) commercial space station currently under development by Starlab Space, a joint venture between the U.S. company Voyager Space (majority shareholder in Nanoracks) and European company Airbus.[1] If development continues beyond the initially-funded phase in 2021–24, then Starlab would be launched before the decommissioning of the ISS, no earlier than 2028. The development program has received partial funding from both NASA and the ESA.
