Commercial space stations are privately developed orbital platforms designed for research, manufacturing, and tourism beyond government oversight. Companies like Axiom Space and Blue Origin lease modules for microgravity experiments, pharmaceutical development, and advanced materials production. Beneficiaries include biotech firms, universities, and space agencies seeking cost-effective access, plus future space tourists. These stations enable continuous innovation, reducing reliance on aging infrastructure like the ISS while opening new economic frontiers in low-Earth orbit.
