TL;DR / Executive Summary
- Voyager Technologies, a Seraphim portfolio company, has acquired ExoTerra Resource, a specialist in electric propulsion systems for spacecraft.
- The deal helps close a key capability gap in U.S.-based satellite propulsion, supporting both defence and commercial missions.
- ExoTerra’s proven thruster technology enables precise movement, longer satellite lifetimes, and efficient in-space manoeuvring.
- The acquisition enhances Voyager’s ability to scale domestic production of propulsion systems vital for modern space infrastructure.
Voyager Technologies acquired ExoTerra Resource, a leading developer of cutting-edge electric propulsion systems.
“We bridge innovation with industrial scale, turning technologies into capabilities that fill gaps and actually move missions forward,” said Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Voyager. “We’re amplifying our collective mission capability with ExoTerra, accelerating delivery across defense and commercial markets. As freedom of maneuver becomes central to space control and deterrence, it’s imperative that reliable propulsion systems are built, tested and qualified right here in the United States.”
ExoTerra’s proprietary technology delivers precise maneuvering, extended lifetimes and high efficiency delta-V – essential for spacecraft across national defense architecture layers that must be able to reposition, avoid threats and sustain mission advantage.
“We’ve spent years developing efficient, compact and reliable electric propulsion systems, and joining forces with Voyager allows us to enhance and deliver these systems at scale,” said Mike VanWoerkom, CEO of ExoTerra. “Together, we’ll manufacture flight-proven propulsion technologies that fortify the nation’s ability to manufacture and field spacecraft with speed, resilience and cost efficiency.”
ExoTerra’s Halo thruster technology is proven aboard DARPA Blackjack ACES spacecraft and the company recently supplied York Space Systems with 21 propulsion modules for the Space Development Agency Transport Layer. The company also has contracts with commercial companies and organizations such as NASA. Combining ExoTerra’s capabilities with its deep portfolio of mission-critical technologies, Voyager is well positioned for strategic initiatives such as Golden Dome.
