Voyager Technologies’ past missions for NASA included waste deployment operations through the Bishop Airlock aboard the International Space Station.
Jeffrey Manber is special assistant to the CEO of Voyager Technologies and oversaw Bishop Airlock development.
Voyager Technologies was awarded a sixth patent related to the Bishop Airlock.
The newly issued patent protects Voyager Technologies’ proprietary electrical power and data-interface architecture for the Bishop Airlock.
Voyager Technologies’ electrical power and data-interface architecture enables the Bishop Airlock to connect to the International Space Station through the Common Berthing Mechanism (CBM).
Previous Voyager missions for NASA included debris deployment operations through the Bishop Airlock aboard the International Space Station.
Under the earlier Johnson Space Center services contract, Voyager conducted waste deployment operations using the Bishop Airlock on the ISS.
Voyager Technologies managed waste deployment operations through the Bishop Airlock on the International Space Station.
The Bishop Airlock is the first permanent commercial addition to the International Space Station.
A 12-month study will begin 2024-05 using resources from both Voyager Space and the Habitation team at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to evaluate the extensibility of Voyager’s Bishop Airlock design to the Mars Transit Vehicle architecture.
The GITAI S2 robotic arm successfully executed all planned ISAM tasks outside the ISS Bishop Airlock.
During the demonstration, the S2 will be mounted external to the ISS on the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock.
During the demonstration, the S2 will be mounted on the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock and perform maintenance, inspection, and life-extension operations for satellites.
Nanoracks has used the International Space Station to launch cubesats and to develop the Bishop airlock.
Once delivered to the International Space Station, GITAI’s robotic arm will be mounted on the exterior of Nanoracks’ Bishop airlock module.
Airbus’s Bartolomeo external payload facility and Nanoracks’ Bishop airlock are existing ISS facilities that companies plan to enable customers to start work on and then shift that work to Starlab.
GITAI first demonstrated its robotic technology onboard the International Space Station in 2021 when its S1 space system assembled structures and operated switches from inside the Bishop Airlock.
GITAI completed a technology demonstration of an autonomous space robot executing various tasks inside the International Space Station using the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock.
GITAI will demonstrate the capabilities of their autonomous robot mounted external to the International Space Station (ISS) on the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock in 2023.
GITAI will mount its autonomous, 1.5-meter-long dual robotic arm system S2 on the Bishop Airlock module funded by Nanoracks.
