Axiom Station is being developed by Axiom Space with the explicit goal of being the world’s first commercial space station. It is planned to initially attach modules to the International Space Station (ISS) before becoming a free-flying independent commercial platform. The International Space Station is a government-led international collaboration, not a commercial entity. Galileo is a navigation satellite system, and Voyager 1 is a space probe. Therefore, Axiom Station is the only option representing a commercial space station.
