Voyager's Starlab opportunity gains a major procurement catalyst as NASA issued its final RFP for next-generation commercial LEO destinations, with proposals due December 8 and awards expected in spring 2027. NASA could anchor demand after the ISS, but private operators still must make the economics work and attract non-NASA customers. x.comÂ
Anduril's new partnership is a bigger vote of confidence in Voyager's defense propulsion business than the headline suggests. Anduril already has over $60M of Voyager propulsion hardware under contract, including solid rocket motors and DACS. Propulsion is among the hardest parts of scaling weapons output, and Voyager is putting $500M+ into domestic production. If Anduril's munitions reach high-rate production, that $60M could be just the start. The market still sees Voyager as a Starlab story. x.com x.comÂ
NASA's newly opened ISS-successor competition could bring huge funding potential to Voyager Technologies' Starlab. Outer Space Today reports Starlab is an expected contender for one of at least two initial awards of at least $100 million each, with billions possible in later phases. Voyager is still appealing, ranking #4 on the space-company list. x.com x.comÂ
Voyager Technologies looks particularly interesting as a picks-and-shovels supplier to the space economy. At a $1.5B market cap, it builds propulsion, missile defense, spacecraft electronics, space intelligence and agentic AI, stations, lunar infrastructure and orbital computing; it partners with Palantir and Anduril. Rocket Lab, AST SpaceMobile and Voyager could be like Apple, Microsoft and Intel in the 1980s: their value in two decades matters more than in two years. x.comÂ
Voyager Technologies should be down more after NASA signaled that current commercial low-Earth-orbit station plans will not work. NASA said the projects are too hard for companies like Vast and Voyager, that it lacks the money to fund them, and that no commercial market exists to support them. x.com x.comÂ
Voyager Technologies is a cheap picks-and-shovels play on the new space economy through its propulsion and electronic systems. It grew 54% in Q1 and trades at only about 4x forward sales with over 50% growth, one of the cheapest space plays, and a recent acquisition should expand its space presence. It is a smaller speculative position whose story could just be starting if the space theme works out. x.comÂ
Voyager Technologies is mispriced even more deeply than Wedbush suggests. Per Wedbush, which started coverage at Outperform with a $46 target, the market treats Voyager as a single space-station story when it is two: a profitable defense technology platform with record backlog tied to Golden Dome missile defense, and the commercial transition of low Earth orbit. Golden Dome procurement moves faster than legacy defense, first-mover data contracts compound, and the LEO business is a free option. … Show more
Voyager Technologies likely faces more downside because its ownership, balance sheet and profitability are weak. It has no insider ownership, a 23% short float and no surplus cash relative to debt, and is unlikely to be profitable for at least two to three years, though revenue growth ahead looks good. x.comÂ
Voyager Technologies is a space company in the right sector at the right time, with a growing, mostly government backlog of $275M. Revenue is very small against its $2B market cap and the company burns cash, but $429M of cash against a $67M quarterly burn implies 2-3 years of runway before it would urgently need to raise capital. It was not a favorite in earlier space research, but the stock is breaking out of a wedge that looks good to the mid-$40s as a swing trade. x.comÂ
Ten listed companies span every layer of a space economy projected to nearly triple to $1.8 trillion by 2035. Rocket Lab has a $2.2B backlog, with Neutron its next catalyst and biggest execution bet. Firefly guides to $420-450M and won Golden Dome work. Iridium is the steady cash-flow name. Redwire, Intuitive Machines, Voyager and Planet Labs carry large backlogs, Satellogic hit positive operating cash flow, and Spire's defense pivot is the catalyst to watch. AST SpaceMobile is FCC-approved. … Show more
Voyager Technologies is a real defense business hiding behind a space station narrative. A convertible debt ceiling that most retail investors do not see coming is a risk to watch, and a very specific entry trigger is still pending. x.comÂ
Space stocks could soar as Goldman Sachs sees the space economy reaching $1.8 trillion by 2035. Rocket Lab, with 70+ launches and new Space Force and NASA contracts, is quietly becoming the second rocket company after SpaceX. AST SpaceMobile's satellites connect directly to phones, with AT&T, Verizon and Vodafone as partners. Voyager is building NASA-backed Starlab to replace the ISS. BlackSky sells real-time imagery under long-term US government deals. SpaceX adds Starlink, Starship and xAI. … Show more
