Starlab incorporated a European subsidiary in Germany in January 2025.

French ESA Reserve Astronaut Arnaud Prost will fly as a flight test engineer on the first crewed mission of Vast’s Haven-1 space station next year.

Axiom Space chose Switzerland for its proximity to the rest of Europe and for the benefits of being a neutral nation that is part of ESA but outside the EU.

Axiom Space secured an additional $175 million investment.

Starlab has worked with Belgium-based Space Applications Services, Canada’s MDA Space, and Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation on its technological development.

Both Axiom Space and Vast are competing for NASA funds under the agency’s Commercial LEO Destinations program.

Both Vast and Axiom Space established offices in Europe to grow access to European revenue streams and future ESA space exploration funds.

Vast will establish a new office in France.

French ESA Astronaut Thomas Pesquet will serve as commander on the sixth private mission to the ISS slated for next year under Vast oversight.

Starlab is a joint venture between Airbus, Voyager Technologies, and other partners.
