Voyager Technologies announced a new contract with biopharmaceutical firm Space LiinTech to deliver a protein‑crystallization payload to the International Space Station. The agreement covers mission integration, payload configuration support, and end‑to‑end guidance to ensure safe operations aboard the ISS, with the payload scheduled for launch in spring 2026.
The payload will conduct microgravity experiments that accelerate protein crystal growth, a key step in developing new drug formulations. Voyager will provide the full suite of services—from design and integration to launch and on‑orbit operations—ensuring that Space LiinTech’s research can proceed without technical or logistical delays.
This win strengthens Voyager’s position in the expanding space‑solutions market, where demand for microgravity research is rising across the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. The contract aligns with Voyager’s strategy of offering comprehensive mission‑management and orbital‑access solutions and complements its broader initiatives, including the Starlab commercial space‑station program.
Matt Magaña, president of Voyager’s Space, Defense & National Security division, said the partnership “demonstrates the critical role of consistent, high‑fidelity access to orbit for medical breakthroughs.” Byungho Kim, senior vice president at Space LiinTech, added that the collaboration marks the beginning of a long‑term relationship aimed at expanding continuous space‑based medicine research.
The announcement was well received by investors, reflecting confidence in Voyager’s expanding role in the space‑solutions sector. The company’s recent focus on high‑margin mission‑management services and its growing portfolio of research payloads position it to capture a larger share of the microgravity market.
Voyager plans to launch the payload in spring 2026, with the potential for additional experiments and a continued partnership with Space LiinTech, signaling a sustained commitment to advancing space‑based research and reinforcing Voyager’s long‑term growth trajectory.
