Starlab Set to Become America's Next Space Station with Palantir Joining the Coalition

Published July 14, 2024

The race to replace the aging International Space Station (ISS) is intensifying, with several key players joining forces to design its successor. Among them is software behemoth Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR, known for its specialized software platforms that support the U.S. intelligence community in counterterrorism investigations and operations. With its headquarters in Denver, Colorado, Palantir will now contribute its advanced data analysis capabilities to the ambitious Starlab project.

The Expansion of the Starlab Coalition

Palantir joins an expanding list of esteemed companies endeavoring to bring Starlab from concept to reality. This coalition includes aerospace giants such as Airbus SE EADSF and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. MSBHF, both of which bring extensive experience in space technology and infrastructure.

Future Prospects for Starlab

Despite the intricacies of orchestrating such a mammoth and multifaceted project, the entry of Palantir is seen as a pivotal move that could significantly enhance Starlab's functionality and operational efficiency. However, it's important to note that the future of Starlab doesn't hinge solely on Palantir's involvement. Indications suggest that Starlab is well on its way to becoming America's next space station, with or without Palantir's contribution. This development represents a major step forward for the U.S. in maintaining its leadership in space exploration and research.
