Voyager Technologies has completed its acquisition of Astrobotic Technology, marking a major milestone as the company expands its position as a fully integrated commercial lunar platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement follows NASA\u2019s award of two new lunar lander missions and the shipment of Griffin Mission One to NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory for environmental testing ahead of launch later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voyager Chairman and CEO Dylan Taylor said the acquisition strengthens the company\u2019s role in supporting America\u2019s long-term presence on the Moon as NASA accelerates lunar exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NASA recently awarded Voyager a task order valued at approximately $298 million under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract was not included when Voyager revealed plans to acquire Astrobotic – highlighting the strategic timing of the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the award, Peregrine-2 is scheduled to launch in 2028, delivering three NASA payloads to the Gruithuisen Domes. The mission will study the lunar radiation environment, analyze engine plume interactions during landing and establish a long-term navigational reference point for future spacecraft, supporting NASA\u2019s Artemis campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract builds on Griffin Mission One, which is advancing toward launch no earlier than November 2026. The mission will transport 10 payloads from NASA, the European Space Agency and commercial customers to the lunar South Pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Astrobotic now operates as Voyager Lunar Systems, headquartered at the Moon Base facility in Pittsburgh. CEO John Thornton continues leading the business while the company\u2019s propulsion and testing facility remains in Mojave, California, supporting future commercial and government lunar missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
