While Orbital Reef does not say it in their marketing the NASA CLD source selection statement says that they are planning for some form of artificial spin gravity up to human scale. Possibly some form of rotating body inside a LIFE module.

A lot of private companies already run experiments on the ISS and several companies have products that need to be manufactured in microgravity so I think the revenue streams will be there but the manufacturing lines will need time to set up.

Well Axiom is contacted for adding 2 modules to the ISS so their Habitation modules are more or less financed by NASA so it mainly depends on if the research and power tower modules are built and docked.

NASA is providing partial development funding and paying for 2 astronauts constantly on orbit plus 200 experiments per year for the 3 that are part of the CLD program which is Orbital Reef, Starlab and NG’s station.

Orbital Reef and Axiom have already got some countries and private companies signed up to use their stations once they are up and running.

Unfortunately as these are privately owned and built we unlikely to ever get the same level of technical data released as with the ISS, Orion, Apollo or Skylab. We will need to make like the military enthusiasts community and make best guesses at the technical details based on what limited information is released.

Sorry was meant to cross post this from r/Polls I have a poll there to vote on.

If you had a look at a couple of the designs you would see that a couple have the batch production of modules as their core idea. It is most evident with Orbital Reef as the core modules and LIFE modules will be exactly the same from a manufacturing standpoint. However bespoke modules for certain requirements will still be required into the future under certain conditions.
