Voyager Technologies has secured a new Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity mission management contract from NASA's Johnson Space Center with a ceiling of 24.5 million dollars over four years to support International Space Station operations through 2030. Under the agreement, Voyager will provide full service mission management for ISS payloads, anchoring recurring mission execution across multiple flight campaigns.

NASA's task order structure enables the agency to issue individual orders under the umbrella contract, with the potential to add options that expand both scope and value over the life of the deal. This multi year framework gives Voyager a predictable channel for recurring mission management work while giving NASA flexibility to align task orders with evolving station needs.

Voyager will deliver end to end services that span payload integration, real time mission operations, safety and compliance oversight, and post mission closeout activities. The company will manage interfaces between payload providers and NASA, ensure that hardware and experiments meet safety and certification requirements, and support on orbit execution and data return for ISS missions.

In the near term, Voyager expects to onboard three payload missions over the next quarter under the new contract, reflecting immediate demand for station access. Those early missions are part of what the company describes as a steady pipeline of task orders tied to ongoing ISS operations and user requirements.

The new award builds directly on Voyager's previous performance under an earlier NASA Johnson Space Center services contract, during which the company successfully executed more than 50 task orders. That earlier work included waste deployment operations using the Bishop Airlock on the ISS, as well as support for NASA's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research payloads, demonstrating Voyager's ability to manage diverse, high tempo mission profiles.

Voyager positions the contract as a reinforcement of its role as a premier mission management service provider with proven, end to end human spaceflight execution experience. Company officials highlight their approach to integrating payloads, managing risk and operating in real time as key differentiators in the ISS mission services market.

The company also casts the new contract as a bridge between today's ISS operations and the emerging ecosystem of commercial space stations. Voyager plans to apply the same integrated mission management model to platforms such as Starlab, supporting payload readiness, safety and mission execution as operations shift from government led to commercially led orbital infrastructure.

"Exploration depends on execution," said Scott Rodriguez, vice president, Government Programs at Voyager. "We make missions routine, safe and repeatable, integrating payloads, managing risk and executing in real time."
