Space ambitions with solid foundations
Voyager's primary specialization extends to advanced space technologies and scientific systems, powering commercial and government missions from low Earth orbit to deep space. Currently, the most key project is the development of the Starlab space station, which on the one hand may seem like too bold a step, but the $217.5 million grant from NASA reflects the seriousness of these ambitions. In addition, the cooperation with NASA is complemented by other famous names, such as Airbus, Mitsubishi and Palantir. Last but not least, it is also important to highlight the contract with Lockheed Martin, under which the company supplies guidance systems for a defense project designed to protect the United States from ballistic threats. Ultimately, thanks to these collaborations, Voyager has a backlog of long-term contracts worth almost $180 million on the table today. [1]
Ideal time, ideal sector
In terms of the timing of its IPO, Voyager could not have chosen a better time. In the United States, the discussion about the Golden Dome missile defense shield, which the administration of Donald Trump plans to support with $175 billion, has reopened. If this project were to be definitively implemented, the necessity of using the technologies developed by Voyager is unquestionable, which potentially results in an additional source of income. At the same time, space ceases to be exclusively the domain of states. As Rob Desborough of Seraphim Space Investment Trust, the investment fund that invested in Voyager, noted: "Voyager's IPO is a milestone that shows the maturation of the entire sector." For comparison, Karman, a company operating in the same field, had a similarly successful listing on the stock exchange, which shows that the commercial era of the space industry is just beginning, and investors can be part of it.

Investors are attracted by stability and future potential
It is no surprise that among the preliminary investors, in addition to Seraphim Space, were funds such as Janus Henderson and Wellington Management, which together expressed interest in an investment worth USD 60 million. It is important for an ordinary investor to realize that this type of fund cannot bet on chance, which is why a thorough analysis of all the essential financial parameters of the company is carried out before depositing funds. Based on this, it can be concluded that the combination of cutting-edge engineering, long-term contracts and government support makes Voyager an exceptional investment target. [3]
