NASA and Voyager Technologies Partner for Seventh Private Crew Mission to ISS
NASA has announced a partnership with Voyager Technologies to launch the seventh private astronaut mission to the International Space Station (ISS), targeting a launch no earlier than 2028. This mission, named VOYG-1, will be Voyager's first private astronaut flight to the ISS and is expected to last up to 14 days. During the mission, the crew will conduct research and demonstrate new technologies in microgravity. Voyager will propose a four-person crew, subject to NASA's review, and will be responsible for purchasing mission services from NASA, including cargo delivery and daily crew consumables. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasized that these private missions are crucial for accelerating the growth of industries that reinforce the U.S. presence in low Earth orbit.
