Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) received a subcontract from Redwire (NYSE: RDW) to supply its Acceleration Measurement System for the DARPA Otter program, according to a company statement.

Redwire serves as the prime contractor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency program, which aims to develop spacecraft capable of operating in very low Earth orbit. The Otter program focuses on creating air-breathing spacecraft that can maneuver in the upper atmosphere.

Voyager's system will provide precision acceleration measurements for the spacecraft, which must use propulsion frequently to maintain orbit in very low Earth orbit due to increased atmospheric drag and gravitational forces. The technology measures delta-V, the change in velocity needed for spacecraft operations including orbit adjustments and deorbiting procedures.

"Missions like Otter demand precise, repeatable thrust control, and that's exactly what our system delivers," said Matt Magaña, president of Space, Defense & National Security at Voyager.

The company's acceleration measurement technology has operated on NASA missions including the Space Acceleration Measurement System, Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System, and the Magnetospheric Multiscale constellation. The MMS mission achieved a GPS signal reception record at 43,500 miles above Earth's surface, according to the company.

Voyager Technologies develops defense technology and space solutions for the U.S. and partner nations, focusing on propulsion, energetics, electronics, and mission management systems.
