Aerospace and defense firm Northrop Grumman has decided to cease developing its own commercial space station, and is instead joining Voyager Space, Nanoracks, and Airbus in the development of the Starlab station. The move will lead to the consolidation of funding for the remaining NASA commercial space station contractees.
