Thunderbird Station
Planned
Thunderbird Station is Max Space's planned expandable commercial space station. The published design provides 350 m³ of pressurized volume for four long-duration crew members, with capacity for up to eight during short stays. Max Space targets a single Falcon 9 launch in 2029 and describes Dragon as the transport for initial crews. The interior is designed around reconfigurable research and manufacturing work areas, more than 60 initial payload lockers, private crew quarters, and shared observation and living areas. These are planned capabilities of the station design; Thunderbird is distinct from the smaller, uncrewed Mission Evolution habitat demonstration targeted for 2027.
