Voyager Technologies has opened a 140,000‑square‑foot manufacturing and development center in Long Beach, California, a hub known locally as Space Beach. The new site, which will house 150‑200 employees, is designed to accelerate the company’s production of propulsion systems, guidance technologies and AI‑powered software for defense programs such as the Next Generation Interceptor. Immediate occupancy began in March, with full operational capacity expected by year‑end.
The facility opening follows a strong Q4 2025 performance in which Voyager reported revenue of $46.65 million, up 24 % year‑over‑year, and an adjusted loss of 37 cents per share versus the 55‑cent loss expected by analysts. For the full year 2025, revenue totaled $166 million, a 15 % increase, while adjusted EBITDA fell to negative $69.9 million from negative $30 million in 2024, reflecting higher investment in the Starlab program and increased R&D spend.
Defense and National Security revenue grew 63 % YoY in Q4 2025, driven by contracts with Lockheed Martin for the Next Generation Interceptor and other U.S. government programs. In contrast, the Space Solutions segment declined 29 % as a NASA services contract wound down, underscoring the company’s shift toward higher‑margin defense work while maintaining a commercial presence through its Starlab Space Stations program.
Matt Magaña, President of Space, Defense & National Security, said, "We are standing up capacity at Space Beach for one purpose: to deliver for our customers." He added, "We are moving fast from design to build, test and fielded capability, and this facility gives us access to world‑class talent, a proven aerospace ecosystem and the collaborative energy of companies that are all pushing in the same direction." Mayor Rex Richardson welcomed the investment, noting the 140,000‑square‑foot facility would bring high‑skilled jobs and strengthen Long Beach’s position as a national aerospace hub.
Investors reacted positively to Voyager’s Q4 earnings beat and recent Air Force contract wins, reflecting confidence in the company’s growth trajectory and its expanding footprint in defense and commercial space markets.
The new Long Beach site reinforces Voyager’s strategy of leveraging AI‑driven digital engineering and automated manufacturing to compress design cycles and accelerate delivery. With the facility’s advanced capabilities, the company is positioned to capture increasing demand in both defense and commercial space, while its raised 2026 revenue guidance of $225 million–$255 million signals continued confidence in a high‑growth outlook.
