Nanoracks' Starlab space station, proposed for NASA's Commercial LEO Destinations development program. Starlab offers a volume approximately one third that of the International Space Station, split between a large inflatable section and a conventional rigid metallic section which serves as the structural interface to the service module and provides mounting points for external payloads and a radial docking port. The station will be manufactured by Lockheed Martin, taking advantage of their existing experience in human spaceflight and their A2100 satellite platform.
The A2100-derived service module provides power, propulsion, attitude control, thermal control, and an additional docking port. The station is designed to operate in a solar-inertial attitude, with the SM pointed towards the sun.
All materials and textures are packed into the .blend file. Some materials make use of Blender-specific procedural textures. Un-applied modifiers are retained wherever feasible to enable easy editing
Note: This model is representative of Starlab's initial design, unveiled in October 2021. In January 2023, a new design was announced, with Airbus replacing Lockheed as subcontractor. An up-to-date model is available here: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/vehicle/sci-fi-vehicle/nanoracks-starlab
