Voyager Space, a space infrastructure and on-orbit servicing company, has been selected by aerospace company Lockheed Martin to deliver an advanced solid-propulsion subsystem for the US Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).

Voyager Space will provide Lockheed Martin's NGI with a Roll Control System (RCS) with thrust and control algorithms to enable precision control of the vehicle's orientation and a stage separation propulsion system.

Voyager will oversee the subsystem through its design, development, and manufacturing stages and deliver a flight-qualified subsystem to Lockheed Martin. The subsystem will be constructed at Voyager's propulsion system manufacturing facility in Reno, Nevada.

The NGI, part of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, is a new interceptor designed to protect the US against limited long-range ballistic missile threats.
