London, 15 March 2023.- Voyager Space, an American space technology company announced the acquisition of ZIN technologies Inc. (ZIN), an engineering, design and integration company providing human-related spaceflight systems and monitoring solutions. This acquisition is part of Voyager Space’s expansion of space infrastructure and technology capabilities to further its Starlab development efforts.
ZIN provides systems and highly engineered solutions to multiple launch vehicles, low-Earth orbit infrastructure projects, and spacecraft, including the U.S. Space Shuttle, the MIR space station, the International Space Station (ISS), Dream Chaser, and Starlab. ZIN has participated in over 400 research activities on the ISS – including the development of microgravity research equipment, and supporting the human-rated structural monitoring systems for the Lunar Gateway under NASA’s Artemis program.
ZIN has experience in the integration of complex space-rated hardware and the development of rendezvous, docking, and related capabilities. These solutions have direct applications to the Starlab space station and complement Voyager Space’s portfolio of space infrastructure and technology capabilities.
“ZIN’s aerospace expertise, strong reputation in the industry, and legacy working with NASA and the ISS, makes them a perfect fit for Starlab and the growing Voyager Space technology ecosystem,” said Matthew Kuta, President and COO of Voyager Space. “ZIN has already played a crucial role as a capability provider to Starlab and as a founding leadership team member of the George Washington Carver (GWC) Science Park. We look forward to working with them further as part of the Voyager Space family.”
ZIN technologies is the seventh acquisition by Voyager Space since January 2020 and is their largest acquisition to date.
