Voyager Space Holdings is an American space company founded in 2019 by Dylan Taylor. Soon after, Voyager began acquiring companies beginning with spacecraft components manufacturer Altius Space Machines in 2020.[1]
By of June 2024, Voyager had acquired Altius Space Machines, Pioneer Astronautics, The Launch Company, Nanoracks, Valley Tech Systems, Space Micro, and Zin Technologies.[2][non-primary source needed]
With the Starlab project, Voyager is one of three companies funded[quantify] through the NASA Commercial LEO Destinations program program to deliver a commercially-funded successor to the ISS after its planned deorbit in 2030.[3]
Through its acquisitions, the company is now a leader in space technology and in commercial space stations[according to whom?] with locations across the United States as well as in Dubai.[not verified in body]
Technology initiatives
[edit]![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion with: does Voyager do anything other than the planned Starlab or the Bishop airlock, both of which they acquired through just one of their acquisitions (Nanoracks)?. You can help by adding to it. |
Starlab
[edit]Starlab is planned to be the first continuously crewed permanent commercial space station. In 2023, Starlab LLC. was established as a joint venture between Voyager Space, Airbus, Mitsubishi, and MDA.[4] The station is planned to serve as a hub for Low Earth Orbit research and home to the George Washington Carver Science Park.[5]
The interior of the Starlab station will be designed in partnership with Hilton Hotels & Resorts.[citation needed]
Bishop Airlock
[edit] | This section needs expansion with: was more than one airlock ever made? If the airlock is a method used to dispose of trash, when was that done, or when is that planned to be done.. You can help by adding to it. |
The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock is a commercially-funded airlock module launched to the International Space Station on SpaceX CRS-21 on 6 December 2020. It was berthed to the Tranquility module on 19 December 2020 by the Canadarm2. The module was built by Nanoracks, Thales Alenia Space, and Boeing. It is used to deploy CubeSats, small satellites, and other external payloads for NASA, Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), and other commercial and governmental customers. The airlock also serves as a site for technology maturation as well as a brand new way to dispose large pieces of trash.[citation needed]
