Starlab Space LLC (Starlab Space) is the US-led global joint venture across Voyager Space, Airbus, Mitsubishi Corporation and MDA Space. Palantir's AI-driven software enables analysts, users, and decision-makers alike to optimize the entirety of space architecture. Palantir helps deliver adaptable software solutions from the ground to the edge, helping to ensure space capabilities are maximally resilient, effective, and accessible.
Starlab Space and Palantir will leverage data modeling through digital twins and AI technologies to enhance Starlab's operations throughout the enterprise. The Starlab digital twin will optimize resource allocation, mission planning, and overall system performance, reducing operational costs and streamlining on-board operations for the Starlab crews. Using Palantir's technology, Starlab will be able to identify potential issues and predict maintenance, helping extend the lifespan of critical components. Ground Predictive Processing will also optimize on-board research by modeling the microgravity environment and completing pre-launch analysis.
"Palantir's advanced AI technologies will revolutionize how space stations are managed and operated," said Tim Kopra, CEO, Starlab Space. "Further, Palantir's expertise in data analytics and predictive modeling will drive innovation and efficiency across the entirety of our joint venture. Together, we are poised to advance the frontiers of space research and ensure we remain resilient, effective and adaptive as we forge into this new era of commercial space exploration."
This announcement follows Starlab's recent expansion to include MDA Space, integrating its industry-leading robotics capabilities and extending the joint venture's international consortium of strategic and high-profile companies with flight heritage and proven experience. The U.S., European, Japanese, and Canadian partners enable their continuation of the International Space Station partner network via commercial entities.
In addition to the joint venture partners, Starlab Space has a strategic teaming agreement with Northrop Grumman, a design and experience partnership with Hilton Hotels, and has secured a launch contract with SpaceX for its Starship vehicle.
