Introduction

The I.S.S. is expected to be retired in 2030, closing a multidecade chapter for humans in space funded by the government. With the next chapter of human space exploration spotlighting the private sector, a slew of companies are developing what they hope will be the I.S.S’s commercial successor. Voyager Space, a holding company concentrated on space infrastructure, is the startup behind Starlab, one of 3 projected pre-selected by NASA to potentially rise to the challenge.
