A Denver-based aerospace company is making a lot more satellite parts lately.

Voyager Technologies has doubled its ability to produce propulsion systems for commercial and defense satellites out of its Littleton facility compared to a year ago, the company announced Monday.

The Denver aerospace company — the developer of Starlab, a private space station set to replace the International Space Station once the ISS retires — took over the Littleton facility after acquiring ExoTerra Resource in October for an undisclosed price.

ExoTerra Resource was a satellite technology company founded in 2011 out of Littleton with proprietary technology in spacecraft maneuvering and expanding lifetimes.

At the time, Voyager’s CEO and Chairman Dylan Taylor said ExoTerra would help the company win contracts for the “Golden Dome” project and grow as a leader in electric propulsion systems for both defense and commercial markets.

Since the acquisition, Voyager said ExoTerra Resource’s Littleton facility grew from 8,000 to 40,000 square feet. They also hired more workers, totaling 200 employees, to meet the demand initiated by the Golden Dome for propulsion systems.

President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” approved last July, allocated $25 billion for Golden Dome, a missile defense system expected to bring a surge of investment to Colorado’s space economy.

Voyager’s newly acquired technology is designed to allow satellites in orbit to maneuver more easily and avoid potential space threats. A satellite propulsion module includes a propellant tank, electronics controller, thruster and propulsion distribution system.

The company said it can now produce one satellite propulsion module a day.

At this pace of expansion, the company aims to “quadruple” its production capacity, a Voyager executive stated in a news release.

“As programs like Golden Dome accelerate the buildout of resilient, multi-layer space architectures, the propulsion systems that make those satellites maneuverable and survivable have to keep pace,” said Matt Magaña, president of Space, Defense and National Security, Voyager. “That’s exactly what we’re delivering, and we are now scaling production even further to quadruple capacity from a year ago.”
