Company Profile

Voyager Technologies, with over a decade of experience in the space sector, operates through three strategic groups: Defense & National Security, Space Solutions, and Starlab. Since 2018, the European division, Voyager Technologies Europe, an operational division of the Space Solutions group, has been active in Italy.

Among its key activities are the management of scientific experiments on board the International Space Station (ISS), the development of advanced space technologies, and services for commercial, governmental, and scientific research missions, ranging from low Earth orbit to space exploration.

These experiences have enabled the development of unique expertise in designing microgravity infrastructure, culminating in eleven autonomously managed private orbital platforms. These are miniature laboratories on the ISS, used by global researchers for experiments of all kinds.

These self-managed platforms laid the foundation for pioneering solutions like Bishop, the first commercial airlock installed on the ISS in 2020, whose 1:1 scale model is displayed at the headquarters in Turin.

The Bishop module, with five times the capacity of government airlocks, facilitates the movement of equipment, internal and external research, satellite and waste deployment, maintenance operations, and other services, evolving activities between the station’s internal environment and the vacuum of space.

Precisely the evolution of the space market has driven us to develop solutions for autonomous and modular platforms, adaptable to complex research scenarios. Our expertise applies across any orbital platform, including cargo systems for low Earth orbit, addressing the needs of a sector in exponential growth.

In this context, Starlab takes shape, a commercial space station born from an international joint venture majority-owned by Voyager. This ambitious project, dedicated to microgravity research, represents the culmination of a journey starting from ISS platforms, integrating advanced technologies developed over years of experience, and aiming to create a global collaborative ecosystem, overcoming political and technical barriers.

Voyager Technologies is a concrete response to industry challenges, where cross-sector partnerships and shared infrastructure become essential to sustaining human and economic expansion into space.

    Voyager Technologies Europe (formerly Nanoracks Space Outpost Europe) enables institutional, academic, and industrial entities to access space through innovative, cost-effective, and tailored solutions. The company provides end-to-end support, guiding customers from the initial experiment design (ensuring compliance with ISS Safety Panel requirements) to operational management in orbit, the return of experiments to Earth, or satellite deployment in space.

    Voyager Technologies Europe’s mission is to streamline the technological process, allowing clients to focus on their mission objectives while the company handles interactions with NASA and manages the operational and logistical chain to deliver experiments to the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment.

    Core Services:

    Voyager Technologies Europe offers Satellite Deployment services for satellites of varying sizes (from 1U CubeSats to MicroSats) in low Earth orbit (LEO) and sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), utilizing platforms like the International Space Station (ISS) and global launch vehicles (e.g., Falcon 9 or PSLV). In the Science & Technology sector, it supports clients in developing and integrating payloads for ISS and orbital environments through many types of solutions.

    Key solutions include:

    NanoLabs: Plug-and-play modules for microgravity experiments aboard the ISS, adaptable to diverse payload sizes and types.

    Bishop Airlock: Used for over 400 experiments, it enables satellite deployment in LEO and hosts internal/external payloads exposed directly to space.

    Nanoracks External Laboratory (NEL): Installable on Bishop’s external ports, it supports advanced testing of materials, tech components, and biological reactions in vacuum and radiation conditions.

    Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD): Deploys SmallSats and MicroSats (up to 12U) directly from the ISS.

    MixStix: Simplify experiments with pre-loaded silicone tubes activated in orbit to study chemical, fluid dynamic, or biological reactions, reducing operational costs and ensuring ISS compatibility.

    Education & Research Programs:

    Voyager promotes programs for universities and schools, offering accessible hardware (e.g., DreamCoder 2.0 boards programmable in Python) and opportunities to conduct parallel experiments on the ISS.

    Metrics & Leadership:

    With over 500 customers and 1,240 payloads sent into orbit, the company boasts a unique track record, driven by process automation and a lean approach that reduces costs and accelerates access to space.

    Commercial Space Station:

    Starlab, developed in partnership with Airbus, Mitsubishi Corporation, MDA, and Palantir, is a modular space station. It features laboratories for biotechnology, advanced materials, and AI-driven research, alongside facilities for in-orbit production and space tourism. Starlab will be launched in a single mission using SpaceX’s Starship rocket and will operate in collaboration with ESA and JAXA to promote global sustainability and innovation. The project aims to build a sustainable commercial ecosystem in space, providing governments, businesses, and the scientific community with streamlined access to orbital infrastructure. For details: Voyager Technologies – Starlab.

    Autonomous Platform Development:

    The company is expanding operations into orbits ideal for scientific research, developing dedicated cargo platforms for experimentation to ensure flexibility and responsiveness to emerging needs in the LEO space sector.
