《精選》Voyager Space和空中巴士共同打造Starlab民間太空站 Voyager Space and Airbus Partner on Commercial Space Station Starlab

由於目前的國際太空站 (International Space Station, ISS) 預計在 2030 年退役，各國太空機構和民間企業都積極投入下一代太空站的開發。其中，由 Voyager Space 和空中巴士共同打造的 Starlab，是目前最受關注的民間太空站計畫之一。這個太空站期望能在 2030 年前，由 SpaceX 的 Starship 火箭一次性發射升空投入運營。民營太空站將對未來太空產業的發展方向產生重大影響。雖然目前仍存在很多不確定性，如發射日期、總成本等。期待 Starlab 進入軌道後，能順利接替國際太空站的角色，開啟民間太空探索重要的里程碑。

Voyager Space and Airbus Partner on Commercial Space Station Starlab

The International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled to retire in 2030. To continue human presence in low-Earth orbit, space agencies and private companies are developing next-generation space stations. One of the most promising projects is Starlab, a joint venture between Voyager Space and Airbus. Starlab is a commercial space station that can be launched in a single mission by SpaceX's Starship rocket. It is expected to be operational by 2030.
