Voyager Technologies announced a memorandum of understanding with NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 26, 2026. The agreement expands the Voyager Institute for Space, Technology and Advancement (VISTA) science‑park ecosystem and establishes a joint research program focused on variable‑gravity environments, a key technology area for future space‑related systems.
The partnership gives Voyager access to Glenn’s advanced micro‑gravity facilities, including the Zero‑Gravity Research Facility, and enables the company to accelerate development of its propulsion, artificial‑intelligence, and space‑systems technologies. By integrating VISTA’s open‑innovation model with a federal research center, Voyager can test new propulsion concepts and AI algorithms in near‑weightless conditions, shortening the development cycle and reducing risk for both defense and commercial space customers.
Voyager’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic value of the MOU. In Q3 2025 the company reported net sales of $39.6 million, flat year‑over‑year but up 15.1% when adjusted for a wind‑down of a NASA services contract. The Defense and National Security segment grew 31% YoY, while the Space Solutions segment declined 41% due to the conclusion of a NASA contract. The company posted a net loss of $16.3 million, but its cash and cash equivalents stood at $413 million, giving it a strong liquidity cushion to invest in research and development.
Management highlighted the partnership’s importance. Jeffrey Manber, special assistant to the CEO, said the MOU “reinforces VISTA as an open, collaborative ecosystem designed to accelerate research, innovation and space commercialization.” CEO Dylan Taylor noted that the defense business had seen robust growth and that the company’s strategic acquisitions in Q3 2025 positioned it well for future contracts.
Market reaction to the announcement has been positive. Voyager’s stock was trading at $37.09 on the day of the announcement, reflecting a 41.89% year‑to‑date return. Analyst coverage has remained upbeat, with Wedbush initiating coverage at an “Outperform” rating and a price target of $46, indicating confidence in the company’s trajectory.
The MOU is a strategic milestone that could serve as a stepping‑stone to future NASA contracts or joint development projects. It strengthens Voyager’s presence in the defense and space markets, expands the VISTA ecosystem’s national footprint, and positions the company to capitalize on emerging opportunities in variable‑gravity research and technology commercialization.
