About

In this presentation, led by The Ohio State University, we will discuss the exciting future of Starlab, share opportunities for research and commercial activity on-board the station, and articulate the essential role of the George Washington Carver Science Park (GWCSP) in helping to fortify space-based research across multiple platforms and domains. Ohio State is the leading university partner in the Starlab program and is working collaboratively with Voyager Space Holdings to develop the GWCSP on the campus of Ohio State, and other similar global ground-based infrastructure to support Starlab and future research in low-Earth orbit.
