At Starlab, we’re building something more than just a new space station—we’re designing an exponential leap forward in how science and business is conducted in orbit.
As the International Space Station (ISS) approaches the end of its service, we honor its extraordinary legacy. And to meet the evolving needs of researchers, innovators, and commercial users, we must go beyond incremental improvement. Starlab is that next leap—a commercial space station purpose-built for fast, flexible, and high-impact research & development in microgravity.
Introducing the Ready-to-Iterate Lab
At the heart of this new research paradigm is our Ready-to-Iterate Lab—a reconfigurable, AI-supported laboratory that allows experiments to be conducted, analyzed, and the next step performed entirely in orbit. No more waiting for return-to-Earth cycles or the next launch window to iterate. With the right tools, reagents, and autonomy onboard, experimenters will be able to make real-time decisions and advance their science in days instead of months.
This isn’t just a new lab—it’s a new philosophy of space science.
“We’re designing Starlab not as the next step after the ISS, but as a transformative leap—a platform where research is no longer constrained by orbital logistics, but empowered by real-time iteration and intelligent systems,” said Dr. Luis Zea, Starlab’s Chief Scientist. “Science and business in space should move at the speed of vision—unbound by gravity, and propelled by the latest technologies.”
