9 March 2026 Voyager Technologies announced a strategic investment in Max Space startup, which develops extensible modules to support collaborative work on building elements of the future lunar base.
For reference: Voyager Technologies is a privately held American space and defense technology company, which deals with the development of solutions for national security, satellite systems
and commercial space stations, in particular, the Starlab project. The company works on the commercialization of space and the protection of critical assets.
The investment took place a little more than a month after that, as the companies announced cooperation on the development of lunar habitation modules based on Max Space expandable module technology. Then they declared, that hope to support plans for a lunar base, mentioned in the White House executive order on space policy from December 2025 year.
Salim Miyan, CEO of Max Space, noted, that the funds will allow the company to complete construction of a new manufacturing facility in Florida for its modules and begin a series of demonstrations. He also remarked, that Max Space is focused on NASA and administration priorities.
In low Earth orbit, the two companies are potentially competitors. Voyager is it parent company in the Starlab Space joint venture, which is developing the Starlab commercial space station, while Max Space in December announced plans for Thunderbird, a commercial station based on its own expandable modules. The initial cooperation is due to the desire to get hardware in space as soon as possible, to demonstrate further capabilities. Voyager will combine Max Space modules with its own technologies in the field of energy, movement etc. to create monthly and other opportunities.
