Voyager to oversee back-to-back pharmaceutical research campaigns aboard the @Space_Station in 2027, using @exobiosphere's single automated screening platform. Between campaigns, the samples and compounds are swapped and the payload reconfigured for the next study.​

One step closer.
Griffin-1 just went through a rigorous round of testing. Vibration testing exposes the spacecraft to the same stresses it will encounter at liftoff, giving our team confidence it
can handle the trip to the Moon.​

Everything is downstream of power.
NASA’s LunaGrid-Lite project is developing a system to robotically unroll cable across the lunar surface and transmit about 1 kW over hundreds of meters. The planned demonstration includes unreeling up to 1 km of cable.
Lunar power distribution sounds trivial until your power station and your rover are 500 m apart, the ground is abrasive electrically charged dust, there is no person around to untangle the cable, and your “extension cord” has to deploy itself in 1/6 g.

Griffin is the largest lunar lander since Apollo's LM.
4.5 m across the legs. 625 kg to the surface.
It picks its own landing spot on the way down, dodging rocks as small as 15 cm, and puts down within 100 m of target.
Then four legs catch all of it. Those legs are designed, built and qualified in Bremen by Airbus, the same team that did Peregrine's.

Griffin-1 is scheduled to land on the lunar surface before the end of the year, joining a 60-year history of American Moon exploration. But the Moon remains a largely unexplored frontier and there’s so much left to learn. With three lunar landings planned within the next three years, Voyager is enabling what comes next.

JUST IN FROM THE ALL-IN SUMMIT: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman just laid out his vision for America’s next phase in space.
Among his most notable remarks:
• NASA expects “dozens of landers” and “dozens of rovers” to head to the Moon over the next four years, alongside major robotics and lunar resource experiments.
• Isaacman said the lunar south pole has only a limited number of viable landing areas near permanently shadowed craters containing water ice, creating what he described as a race for a small number of strategic “parking spots.”
• He warned China is targeting the same region, intends to build a lunar base with Russia and “will get to the Moon.” Isaacman said China is now an “incredible rival” and that “the Chinese are extremely good in space right now.”
• Isaacman called SpaceX NASA’s “most important launch partner” and said the U.S. would be “seriously challenged in the high ground of space” without its capabilities.
• On Mars, he argued the hardest problem is not getting astronauts there, but getting them home - and said NASA should develop nuclear-powered transfer vehicles that reduce the need to manufacture return propellant on Mars.
• He said NASA’s SR-1 Freedom nuclear mission will be followed by “SR-2, SR-3, SR-4,” with technology ultimately aimed at destinations including Enceladus, Europa and Titan.
In summary, the message from @NASAAdmin was clear: the next space race will be won by whoever can secure the Moon’s most valuable terrain, build permanent infrastructure there and use it as the springboard to Mars and beyond.

Biomanufacturing in space is moving from concept to capability.
Ambrosia Space Manufacturing Corporation has reserved volume aboard Starlab to validate and integrate its biomanufacturing system during Starlab’s first year of commercial operations. The system is designed to support production of biopharmaceuticals while laying the groundwork for other biological technologies that could support life and operations in space.
This is more than a technology demonstration. By validating biomanufacturing hardware in orbit and working toward integration with Starlab’s onboard systems, Ambrosia Space is taking a step toward the scalable production capabilities needed for a sustained human presence beyond Earth.

What could microgravity research make possible?
Starlab Space and Center for Space and Aviation Switzerland and Liechtenstein (CSA) have opened an international Call for Proposals for investigations aboard the International Space Station, giving researchers an opportunity to generate data and insights that can advance scientific, technical, process and business cases toward future applications and commercialization.
Up to four proposals will be selected, with awardees receiving support for payload integration, launch, on orbit operations, crew time and return of experimental samples.
Research areas include microorganisms, mammalian cells and tissues, protein crystal growth, fluid dynamics and mixing, biomaterials and plant research.
Step 1 of the proposal process opens TODAY. Learn more and review eligibility requirements: starlab-space.com/call-for-p…

🌕 Opportunity: New Solicitation for Lunar Technologies!
NASA has issued a new solicitation to work with partners in advancing critical lunar surface technologies in the key areas including vertical solar arrays, ISRU oxygen production, radioisotope generators, in‑space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials — capabilities that are essential to establishing an enduring @NASAMoonBase at the lunar South Pole.

Our Peregrine and Griffin landers offer up to five payload deployment options and six different configurations to land on the lunar poles, equator and near or far sides. We configure to best match your mission needs, not the other way around.

Griffin-1 in late 2026. Peregrine-2 and -3 by the end of 2028. Voyager will go to the Moon three times in the next three years, but this is only the beginning. Read more about our upcoming lunar missions: voyagertechnologies.com/insi…

Our small-class Peregrine lander, under @NASA contract for two lunar landing missions, has a max capacity of 50 kg, 1.0 W/kg of power and 192 hours of payload operation. The lander provides power, communications and thermal support throughout missions to enable scientific investigations and technology demonstrations.

Griffin-1 is getting a serious shakeout @NASAJPL. 🚀 Vibration testing puts the spacecraft through the forces it will experience during launch, helping our team make sure it’s ready for the journey to the Moon.

Space may be quiet, but getting there is not. 🔊🚀Voyager has completed acoustic testing for Griffin-1, confirming its hardware can withstand the intense sound environment of launch. Next up: vibration testing.🌙 Another critical step toward flight.

Paul is one of the very best CTOs in tech. Worth a listen. $VOYG
Orbital data centers were not top of mind in 2024, let alone the software layer. Our CTO Paul Tilghman on why that's the harder problem — in space, your software has to know where it is. Listen to his interview with @Via_Satellite @OnOrbitPodcast here: ow.ly/AsTN50ZFnXa

Space compute, as it actually today, is bespoke and married to one mission for life. But Space Edge™ is composable on orbit. It’s about proximity, living right next to the sensors to act on data while it’s relevant.

Star Sailors AG has signed a payload reservation agreement to fly biotechnology, medicine and commercial research aboard Starlab.
Based in Liechtenstein and embedded in the Center for Space and Aviation Switzerland and Liechtenstein (CSA) and Technopark Liechtenstein, Star Sailors gives customers there a direct route to microgravity research and commercial development in orbit.
It's the newest addition to Starlab's global customer base and proof that the commercial LEO market continues to grow.
