REUTERS/Joe Skipper/File PhotoPARIS, Aug 2 (Reuters) - U.S. space venture company Voyager Space and Airbus (AIR.PA) said on Wednesday they will co-operate more closely in the race to build a private version of the International Space Station.
Voyager Space also declined to discuss funding plans.
"Lockheed will likely still have a role to play somewhere within the supply chain," Dylan Taylor, CEO of Voyager Space told reporters.
Lockheed remains an important customer for Voyager and Starlab will remain U.S.-led, he added.
Voyager Space and Airbus have said Starlab would deploy in 2028, but backed away from a specific timeline on Wednesday.
