Janus Henderson invests in Starlab Space commercial station developer

Janus Henderson Group (NYSE: JHG) announced a strategic investment in Starlab Space, a commercial space station developer, through accounts managed by its advisory affiliates. The investment was announced jointly with Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG).

Starlab Space, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, is developing a commercial space station intended to maintain human presence in low-Earth orbit following the International Space Station's planned retirement in 2030. The company operates as a joint venture led by Voyager Technologies with partners including Airbus, Mitsubishi Corporation, MDA Space, Palantir Technologies, and Space Applications Services.

"We have strong conviction that Starlab has the best design, lowest cost profile, and most compelling business model of any of the contenders vying to replace the ISS after its de-orbit in 2030," said Jonathan Coleman, Small Cap Growth Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson.

Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Voyager Technologies, described the investment as "a strong market signal that the commercial space economy is entering a new phase of maturity."

Janus Henderson manages more than $40 billion in active small and mid cap equities and had approximately $484 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025. The firm has offices in 25 cities worldwide and is headquartered in London.

The investment follows Janus Henderson's recent investment in Kardium Inc., a developer of atrial fibrillation treatment technology. Information is based on a joint press release from the companies.
