Voyager Wins Contract with Sandia National Laboratories

Key Terms

low-earth orbit technical

Low-earth orbit (LEO) is the region of space close to Earth where satellites circle at relatively low altitudes, roughly between about 160 and 2,000 kilometers. For investors, LEO matters because satellites placed there are cheaper and faster to reach, offer lower communications delay and clearer imaging, and enable large commercial services like broadband, Earth observation and logistics monitoring — much like a network of local cell towers and cameras in the sky that can generate recurring revenue streams.

payload integration technical

Payload integration is the process of installing and connecting a satellite, scientific instrument, or other cargo (the “payload”) to its carrier—such as a rocket, aircraft, or delivery platform—and making sure all mechanical, electrical and software connections work together safely. For investors this matters because successful integration is a key step before launch or deployment; problems or delays can raise costs, push back revenue timelines and increase operational risk, much like fitting a delicate component into a machine before it can run.

on-orbit operations technical

Activities carried out by a satellite, spacecraft, or related systems while they are in orbit around Earth or another body, including routine control, payload use, attitude adjustments, station-keeping, software updates, refueling or repairs, and end-of-life disposal. For investors, on-orbit operations determine how long a space asset can deliver services, the ongoing costs and risk of failure, and the timing and predictability of revenue—similar to how running and maintaining a factory affects its output and profitability.

Mission accelerates national security research, delivering end-to-end execution in LEO

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) was awarded a new mission management contract with Sandia National Laboratories to fly their Big Boy demonstration aboard the International Space Station in 2027. The contract underscores the continued and growing demand for access to low-Earth orbit for national security research, with additional contracts expected to follow.

“Our station-agnostic, integrated approach to mission management enables space access for everyone from academia and government agencies to civil, commercial and defense industries,” said Matt Magaña, president of Space, Defense and National Security, Voyager. “Supporting Sandia National Labs through every phase of execution from Earth to orbit is another proof point for how we are making America’s presence in space durable, commercially viable and strategically strong.”

Under the contract, Voyager will provide end-to-end mission management, including experiment design, payload integration, safety review, manifest and mission planning, and on-orbit operations. The payload will integrate with the company’s NEL, an external payload platform mountable on Voyager’s Bishop Airlock, the first and only permanent commercially owned module on the Space Station.

The first NEL platform will fly to the Space Station aboard Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s HTV-X2. A second NEL platform will follow in the spring of 2027 to meet growing customer demand.

Based in New Mexico, Sandia National Labs is a multi-mission laboratory with the primary goal of advancing U.S. national security through science-based technology development. The Big Boy demonstration and validation mission will validate on-orbit operations of parallel sensors that will improve understanding of lightning emissions and signals, the natural radiation environment, and sensor and optics degradation when exposed to launch, vacuum and reentry forces.
