Starlab crew systems

Design and co-engineering of crewquarters and toilet and hygiene compartments for Starlab

Project duration: ongoing since 2024

Project start: September  2024

Client: Airbus Defence and Space, Bremen, Germany

Consortium: LIQUIFER Space Systems

Task: support Airbus in the architecture and design of the crewquarters and toilet and hygiene compartments through co-engineering

Exploration and micro-gravity research in Low Earth Orbit paired with space tourism

LIQUIFER Space Systems is part of an international consortium working on the development of Starlab: a next-generation commercial space station designed for microgravity research, exploration and space tourism in low Earth orbit (LEO). Within this project, LIQUIFER is supporting Airbus Defence and Space with the architectural design and co-engineering of the crew quarters, toilet, and hygiene compartments. The work focuses on integrating human-centred design principles and ergonomic optimisation to ensure an aesthetically pleasing living environment in a micro-gravity environment. These results will help define the living standards and habitability of future orbital habitats, establishing Starlab as a pioneering platform for long-duration missions and commercial activities in space.
