VOYG-1 is an upcoming private Dragon 2 mission to the International Space Station by Voyager Technologies.

Background

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]

Notes

  1. ↑ Prior missions include Axiom Mission 1, Axiom Mission 2, Axiom Mission 3, and Axiom Mission 4 with two others also under contract, Axiom Mission 5, and Vast-1.[1]
