NASA Awards HUNCH Contract to Voyager
Program Supports Workforce Development for Space Station Operations
A contract for the NASA HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware) program has been awarded to Voyager, extending the company’s role in advancing workforce development while supporting human spaceflight operations.
“What we learn supporting ISS operations today directly informs how we design, operate and sustain next-generation platforms like Starlab.”

HUNCH provides high school students with hands-on experience designing and fabricating hardware used by NASA, including for the International Space Station. Under the renewed contract, Voyager will build on its five-year history with the program to provide engineering and program support that connects student innovation directly to operational missions.
“HUNCH strengthens the aerospace workforce while delivering real, mission-ready outcomes for spaceflight,” said Matt Magaña, president, Space, Defense & National Security at Voyager. “What we learn supporting ISS operations today directly informs how we design, operate and sustain next-generation platforms like Starlab.”
Voyager’s continued support of HUNCH builds a skilled pipeline of engineers, technicians and operators for civil, commercial and national-security missions. It also reinforces its broader mission-management capabilities, ensuring continuity from current ISS operations to future commercial space stations.
