# NASA Awards Voyager $35M HUNCH Contract

On November 4, 2026, NASA awarded Voyager Technologies a five-year, $35 million contract to continue managing the High school students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program. Voyager’s role began in 2021; HUNCH gives high school students hands-on experience designing and fabricating hardware for NASA, with program facilities in Webster, Texas, and Long Beach, California. The announcement describes a continuation award, not a new solicitation, and provides no procurement inquiry contact.

- The award confirms Voyager’s incumbent program-management role for the next five years. The announcement does not identify a contract number or additional award details.
- For prospective contractors, this is not an announced near-term competition. Companies interested in related work should distinguish the incumbent award from an open solicitation; no procurement contact or solicitation is identified in the announcement.
- The program links student hardware design and fabrication to NASA’s workforce pipeline, which may be relevant to organizations providing educational or hands-on technical programs.
