VOYG-1 was announced on April 16, 2026, making it the seventh, and most recent, contracted Private Astronaut Mission from NASA and the first from Voyager.[lower-alpha 1][1][2] Like with the other contracted missions from Axiom Space, and Vast these missions are both to develop procedure and train these companies commercial astronauts, but to also raise cash for their own private space stations, in Voyager's case, Starlab.[3][2] Funds will also be used to help finance Voyager's development of habitation modules for the planned Artemis Lunar Base.[2]
Mission
VOYG-1 will stay at the International Space Station for up to 14 days.[1][4] Unlike the prior Axiom missions, which saw one commercial astronaut and 3 seats that where sold off to foreign partners, all 4 of VOYG-1's crew will be Voyager employed commercial astronauts.[4] The mission is expected to launch no earlier than 2028.[1]
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=parameter may be used:
{{VOYG-1|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{VOYG-1|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{navbox}}) or class=nomobile ({{sidebar}}) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Wikipedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case.
