Voyager Space<\/strong>, one of the global leaders in space exploration, announced the appointment of Marshall Smith<\/strong> as the company\u2019s Chief Technology Officer (CTO<\/strong>)<\/strong> and as a member of Starlab Space\u2019s Board of Directors. Smith, who previously served as Voyager Space\u2019s Vice President of Exploration, will lead the technical strategy for Voyager\u2019s enterprise and guide the Starlab team through the design, development, and operations of the commercial space station.<\/p>\n \u201cVoyager\u2019s exploration, technology, and defense capabilities have grown rapidly since our founding, and Marshall has been at the forefront since joining our team,\u201d said Dylan Taylor<\/strong>, CEO and Chairman, of Voyager Space. \u201cHis proven experience in government and industry, and unmatched technical acumen make him the perfect choice as Voyager\u2019s CTO and as a Starlab Space board member.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to joining Voyager, Smith<\/strong> was the Senior Vice President of Commercial Space Stations at Nanoracks<\/strong>, now part of Voyager\u2019s Exploration Segment, where he managed the space systems division. This division included commercial space station development, autonomous outpost platforms, and support systems including airlocks. <\/p>\n Most notably, Smith spent 37 years at NASA<\/strong>, designing and building complex, human-rated space systems including leading systems engineering and integration for SLS, Orion, and Exploration Ground Systems. He led the formulation of the Artemis and Moon to Mars plans, including NASA\u2019s Gateway, the Human Landing System, and other future systems required for deep space exploration. Smith is the recipient of the NASA Systems Engineering Excellence of the Year Award, the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal, and the NASA Exceptional Service Medal.<\/p>\n \u201cI am proud to be part of such a dedicated and driven team at Voyager Space,\u201d said Smith<\/strong>. \u201cOur capability at Voyager spans from complex space infrastructure to laser communication, solid propulsion, commercial microgravity research, and so much more. I am looking forward to working with our Voyager team to develop solutions to complex problems facing our customers, and to guiding the Starlab team into the commercial low-Earth orbit economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Voyager Space, one of the global leaders in space exploration, announced the appointment of Marshall Smith as the company\u2019s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and as a member of Starlab Space\u2019s Board of Directors.
