Voyager Space Partners with Northrop Grumman for Starlab Space Station

Voyager Space has announced a teaming agreement with Northrop Grumman to develop autonomous rendezvous and docking technology for Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft and provide cargo resupply services for the Starlab space station. The collaboration aims to strengthen the development of Starlab and the enhanced Cygnus system for NASA's Commercial Low-Earth Orbit Development program. Northrop Grumman will upgrade its Cygnus cargo vehicle with a fully autonomous docking system, enabling independent docking between spacecraft. The Cygnus spacecraft will deliver pressurized cargo to Starlab over a five-year period, supporting future human spaceflight missions.
