Starlab

SAGA is working with Starlab to design and co-engineer the interior lighting for its commercial space station. The project extends our work with circadian lighting into a station-wide system for an environment intended to support science, research and life in orbit.

Life in Low Earth Orbit

Starlab’s planned habitat brings crew quarters and research laboratories together in one station. Designed for a crew of four, the station is intended to continue microgravity research as commercial space stations follow the ISS.

Lighting a Space Station

Starlab is being developed to support science, research and human life in orbit. Our work spans the station’s interior lighting, extending the scale of our earlier Circadian Light project aboard the International Space Station.
