Voyager Space and Northrop Grumman announce a partnership to develop autonomous docking technology for the Starlab space station, a joint venture with Airbus Defence and Space.Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus space freighter approaches the International Space Station where the Canadarm2 robotic arm is poised to capture it for docking.
The Cygnus spacecraft, which has already delivered over 138,000 pounds of cargo to the ISS in 19 missions, will be upgraded with a fully autonomous docking system, allowing it to rendezvous and dock with Starlab without human intervention. This technology is crucial for complex and deep space operations and for enhancing safety and efficiency.
Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Voyager Space, said that the collaboration is a significant step forward for the Starlab program and that Northrop Grumman’s technical capability and success in cargo resupply services will be instrumental in accelerating Starlab’s development. He added that the partnership will also advance critical technology for deep space exploration. He is thrilled to have Northrop Grumman on the Starlab team.
