Voyager Space Awarded by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to Develop New Airlock Concept

Denver, CO - May 14, 2024 - Voyager Space, a global leader in space exploration, today announced that it has been awarded a Collaborative Announcement Notice (CAN) by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) for the joint development of an airlock for the Mars Base Camp. The new airlock concept will enable the safe and efficient transfer of personnel and cargo between the Martian surface and the base camp, which is expected to play a crucial role in NASA’s upcoming manned mission to Mars.

The MSFC-Voyager partnership aims to address the current challenges associated with space exploration, such as limited access to the Martian surface, difficulty in conducting scientific experiments, and the lack of a reliable airlock system for the transfer of personnel and cargo. The new airlock concept will not only enhance the efficiency of Mars missions but also provide a critical component for future long-term lunar and planetary missions.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center on this groundbreaking project,” said Sarah Johnson, CEO of Voyager Space. “Our team is committed to developing cutting-edge technology that will support NASA’s mission to explore the Red Planet and beyond. The new airlock concept will be a game-changer in the field of space exploration, enabling safer and more efficient missions for years to come.”

The CAN award is a significant milestone for Voyager Space, which has been at the forefront of space technology development since its inception. The company’s expertise in designing and manufacturing advanced space systems has made it a trusted partner for NASA and other space agencies around the world.

The new airlock concept will be designed to meet the specific requirements of NASA’s Mars Base Camp, which is scheduled to launch in the late 2020s. The base camp will serve as a critical hub for scientific research, exploration, and development of the Martian surface. The airlock system will enable the safe transfer of personnel, cargo, and scientific equipment between the base camp and the Martian surface, while also providing a secure environment for conducting experiments and storing sensitive equipment.

Voyager Space will work closely with NASA’s MSFC to develop the airlock concept, which will be designed to meet the agency’s strict safety and performance standards. The company’s team of engineers and scientists will leverage their expertise in space technology, materials science, and systems engineering to create a state-of-the-art airlock system that can withstand the harsh Martian environment.

The CAN award is a significant step forward for Voyager Space, which has been rapidly expanding its capabilities in space technology development. The company’s focus on innovation and collaboration has made it a trusted partner for NASA and other space agencies around the world. With this latest achievement, Voyager Space is poised to play a critical role in the next phase of space exploration, as humanity continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the cosmos.
