Voyager Awarded Subcontract by Redwire for DARPA Mission

Key Terms

darpa regulatory

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is a government organization that funds and develops cutting-edge technologies to keep the country’s military and innovation capabilities ahead of potential threats. Its work often leads to breakthroughs that can transform industries and create new markets, making it of interest to investors seeking future technological opportunities.

vleo technical

Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) is the band of space closest to Earth where satellites orbit at much lower altitudes than traditional low Earth orbit, typically a few hundred kilometers above the surface. For investors it matters because satellites in VLEO can deliver faster communications and lower signal delay—like driving a car closer to your destination—but they face quicker wear from atmospheric drag, affecting operating costs, replacement schedules and service reliability.

gps technical

A global network of satellites and ground stations that provides precise location and time information to devices on Earth; think of it as a map and clock in the sky that tells a device exactly where and when it is. Investors care because GPS underpins navigation for shipping and delivery, fleet and asset tracking, location-based services, autonomous vehicles, and precise timing for financial networks—so changes in GPS technology, reliability, or competing systems can affect revenue, costs, and risk across many industries.

acceleration measurement system technical

A system of sensors and software that detects and records changes in speed and direction, like a digital speedometer that also notices bumps, shakes and sudden stops. Investors watch these systems because their accuracy, reliability and cost affect product performance, safety certification and potential revenue streams — factors that influence a company’s competitive edge, regulatory risk and long‑term profitability.

Company’s precision acceleration system to support first air-breathing spacecraft

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) was awarded a subcontract by Redwire (NYSE: RDW), the prime contractor for the DARPA Otter program, to supply its high-precision Acceleration Measurement System (AMS).

“Missions like Otter demand precise, repeatable thrust control, and that’s exactly what our system delivers,” said Matt Magaña, president, Space, Defense & National Security, Voyager. “This flight-proven hardware has performed flawlessly on several of NASA’s high-profile missions. We’re bringing that same level of precision to Redwire and DARPA, helping unlock a new class of maneuverable spacecraft in VLEO.”

Otter requires the frequent use of propulsion to stay in orbit in VLEO, experiencing greater atmospheric drag and gravity pull. This ability to maneuver, or delta-V, is critical to every action a spacecraft performs, from raising or lowering orbit to various operations and deorbiting. Voyager’s AMS system delivers the ultra-precise delta-V and acceleration measurements required.

The AMS architecture stems from more than a decade of continuous, failure-free operations aboard Space Acceleration Measurement System and Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System, as well as NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) constellation. MMS set multiple world records, including the highest altitude fix of a GPS signal ever recorded at 43,500 miles above the Earth’s surface, and the closest separation ever of any multi-spacecraft formation, enabled by Voyager’s precision AMS capabilities.
