Voyager Technologies and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio signed a memorandum of understanding to expand the Voyager Institute for Space, Technology and Advancement (VISTA) science park ecosystem.
Phase 1 incumbents Blue Origin/Sierra, Axiom, and Voyager/Airbus face competition from new entrants and must demonstrate technical maturity, financial viability, schedule realism, and the ability to attract non-NASA customers.
Voyager plans to host its manufacturing hardware on its commercial space station, Starlab.
The patented process by Voyager focuses on creating crystals that are essential for optical communications and modern computing infrastructure.
Voyager plans to send its patented manufacturing process to the International Space Station (ISS) in spring 2023 to demonstrate the hardware.
Voyager will send samples to the International Space Station in spring 2026 to validate the patented method with the support of a grant from the ISS National Laboratory.
Patent partners for Voyager’s method include experts from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, New York University, and the Universities Space Research Association.
Voyager aims to establish a high-volume manufacturing process for its crystals.
Higher crystal quality from Voyager's patented approach improves signal stability and reduces error rates in high-bandwidth systems supporting AI and cloud computing.
Voyager’s support of HUNCH contributes to building a skilled pipeline of engineers, technicians, and operators for civil, commercial, and national-security missions.
Voyager has been awarded a contract for the NASA HUNCH program, enhancing the company's role in workforce development and supporting human spaceflight operations.
Voyager's involvement in HUNCH reinforces its mission-management capabilities, ensuring continuity from current ISS operations to future commercial space stations.
Under the renewed contract, Voyager will provide engineering and program support that connects student innovation to operational missions.
Ground validation and in-space demonstrations for Voyager and Max Space’s expandable habitat technology are planned for later this decade with operational lunar and Mars capabilities aligned to NASA exploration timelines.
Matt Magania of Voyager stated that HUNCH strengthens the aerospace talent pipeline and produces results that are applicable to actual spaceflight.
John Casani played a key role in many important planetary science missions, particularly the Voyager spacecraft.
Voyager and Infleqtion have formed a strategic partnership to advance dual-use quantum technology in low-Earth orbit and beyond.
The collaboration between Voyager and Infleqtion marks a major milestone in the convergence of the quantum and aerospace industries.
Voyager and Infleqtion will work to extend quantum capabilities into the commercial era.
ExoTerra's partnership with Voyager aims to enhance and deliver electric propulsion systems at scale.
