Voyager Technologies selected by NASA for 7th private astronaut mission

The company states: “Voyager Technologies (VOYG) has signed an order with NASA for the seventh Private Astronaut Mission to the International Space Station, launching no earlier than 2028. The seventh private astronaut mission, called VOYG-1, supports NASA’s strategy to transition low-Earth orbit operations to the private sector, establishing a sustainable framework where commercial partners deliver safe, reliable and cost-effective human spaceflight services that extend the agency’s legacy of exploration. The mission also reinforces the momentum behind Voyager’s broader strategic lunar initiative and its multi-million-dollar investment in Max Space, whose expandable habitat technology launches compactly and deploys to up to 20 times its stowed volume at its destination. That architecture – designed to maximize livable volume, reduce surface deployment costs and support long-duration habitation – addresses a central infrastructure challenge of sustained lunar presence.”
