Voyager Technologies has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for its proposed initial public offering.
In a preliminary prospectus filed on Friday, the space and defense company has yet to disclose the number of shares to be offered and the price range for the IPO.
In January, Voyager submitted to the SEC a confidential registration statement for its plans to go public.
In the latest IPO filing, Voyager provided financial details and information on its Starlab project, a commercial space station in low Earth orbit.
Starlab Space Station
Starlab is under development by Starlab Space, a joint venture formed by Voyager with Airbus in December 2023, according to the prospectus. After the JV was established, Mitsubishi, MDA Space and Palantir Technologies acquired minority interests in Starlab Space.
As of March 31, Voyager had an ownership interest of 67 percent in the joint venture, while Airbus held 30.5 percent.
Through the JV, Voyager said it intends to continue development work on Starlab, which is expected to serve as a commercial space station replacement for the International Space Station, which is set to be decommissioned in 2030. It also plans to pursue milestone payments under its $217.5 million Space Act Agreement with NASA under the first phase of the agency’s Commercial Destinations-Free Flyer program.
SpaceNews reported that Starlab is expected to lift off aboard a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle in 2029.
OPC Acquisition
Voyager disclosed in the SEC filing that it acquired Optical Physics Company, or OPC, on May 2 through a cash-and-stock transaction worth approximately $10.7 million. The acquired company manufactures star trackers, interferometric imaging, deformable mirrors and other high-precision optics for space applications.
Voyager described the deal as a “strategic acquisition for program integration” and noted that it will integrate OPC with its defense and national security business segment.
Rebranding Effort
In January, Voyager Space rebranded as Voyager Technologies to highlight its commitment to driving national security and space innovation.
As part of the initiative, Voyager divided its businesses into three segments: Defense and National Security, Space Solutions and Starlab Space Stations.
