By ·

Key takeaways

  • Voyager Technologies was selected under NASA's CLPS 2 multiple-award contract, which carries a $10 billion base ceiling through 2036.
  • The contract includes an option to extend to 2041 with a $15 billion ceiling.
  • Voyager, formerly Astrobotic, was onboarded to the CLPS 1 vendor pool in 2019 and has been awarded four lunar mission contracts to date.

Voyager Technologies has been selected under NASA's new Commercial Lunar Payload Services Multiple Award Contract, known as CLPS 2, placing the company in the next-generation lunar vendor pool. Business Wire reported the selection on November 7, 2026. The contract carries a base ceiling of $10 billion through 2036, with an option to extend to 2041 and raise the ceiling to $15 billion.

Voyager's Place in NASA's CLPS 2 Pool

Voyager Technologies is a Denver-based defense technology and space solutions company, formerly known as Astrobotic, that provides propulsion, electronics and lunar delivery services. Under CLPS 2, the company can bid on task orders for multi-lander procurements, survive-the-night lunar surface missions, lunar sample return missions, and missions supporting NASA's Artemis and Moon Base Programs.

"CLPS 2 opens a new chapter where the scope of commercial lunar missions is broader, the ambitions are larger, and the infrastructure we are building becomes even more essential," said Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Voyager. John Thornton, executive vice president of Voyager Lunar Systems, said the company's track record under CLPS 1 with four missions awarded positions it to pursue the full spectrum of mission types the new contract will procure.

NASA's CLPS 2 pool also includes Firefly Aerospace, which was onboarded as a vendor under the same $10 billion contract, a 10-year IDIQ for lunar cargo delivery, according to Stock Titan. Firefly said it will scale its Blue Ghost lander to carry heavier payloads and infrastructure for a permanent Moon Base.

Voyager's Lunar Delivery Backlog

Voyager's lunar delivery and infrastructure work became a core strategic pillar after its announced acquisition of Astrobotic Technology for up to $300 million, according to akta.pro company records. The same records show a record backlog of $275.3 million as of Q1 2026, up 54% year-over-year, and 2026 revenue guidance of $230-255 million, representing 39-55% growth over 2025.

Griffin-1 and the Path to Launch

Voyager's Griffin-1 lunar lander passed acceptance testing, confirming readiness for its targeted late-2026 launch to the Moon, Stock Titan reported on October 13, 2026. The mission carries 10 payloads from six countries, including NASA and ESA, and will be part of Moon Base Phase I objectives. Voyager said Griffin-1 is on track to deliver the largest commercial payload in lunar history.
