Astrobotic is now Voyager Technologies.
Same team. Same mission. Expanded capability.
Griffin-1, part of NASA's Moon Base, launches soon with the largest commercial payload ever flown to the lunar surface.
All of it gets covered on the @voyagertech_ page. Be sure to follow!
This account closes soon.
Did you hear? Griffin-1 has cleared environmental testing at @NASAJPL and is being prepared for shipment to Cape Canaveral. Next: FLIP rover integration, then launch site processing. (rocket emoji)
Read more about the testing + follow @voyagertech_
Griffin-1 officially completed acceptance testing at @NASAJPL.
Getting here meant passing through various environmental tests. Now, Griffin-1 has reached an enormous step toward launch, supporting NASA's Moon Base Program.

Four new Moon deliveries. One shared goal. 🌕
@NASA is increasing the cadence of lunar exploration with four newly announced commercial lunar lander missions that will deliver NASA science and technology payloads to expand scientific discovery and help advance the capabilities needed to live and work on the Moon.

What if lunar landers become infrastructure delivery systems?
As lunar operations expand, a new class of spacecraft is emerging.

ALT What if lunar landers become infrastructure delivery systems? As lunar operations expand, a new class of spacecraft is emerging. These landers are designed to deliver power systems, mobility platforms, communications infrastructure, and other assets needed to support long-term activity on the Moon. In the MoonBound issue of SpaceCom Second Stage, John Thornton, CEO of Astrobotic, discusses Griffin-1, LunaGrid, and the growing role of infrastructure-class landers in building the foundation for a future Moon Base.

A Moon Base lander is one step closer to the lunar South Pole.
@astrobotic recently unveiled the Griffin-1 lunar lander, now ready for environmental testing at @nasajpl ahead of its late-2026 launch. Griffin-1 will deliver payloads supporting Moon Base Phase One.

As our FLIP rover is making great progress towards launch, so is its ride to the Moon: @astrobotic’s Griffin-1 lander. Today we got to see that progress up close.
Our team participated in an update on the progress of the lander and its payloads, all hitting crucial milestones on their way to the lunar surface.
Today, we unveiled our Griffin-1 lunar lander, recently designated by @NASA as Moon Base II🌙, during a visit by NASA reps, gov officials, and industry partners at our HQ in Pittsburgh. "Today, Griffin stands behind us as proof of what is possible when talented people spend years solving hard problems together," read more: astrobotic.com/griffin-1-lun…

The @astrobotic Griffin-1 lander is nearing the end of final assembly before heading to California for environmental testing next week. The @Astrolab_Space FLIP rover will be integrated onto the lander down at the Cape ahead of launch in late 2026.

The second @NASAMoonBase mission will fly cargo to the lunar surface aboard the @Astrobotic Griffin lander and the third will deliver payloads chosen through open competition as well as international partners.
Both missions are targeted to launch before the end of 2026.

Aboard our Griffin-1 lander heading to the Moon late 2026, @Astrolab_Space's FLIP has a suite of payloads heading to the lunar surface! 🌙🧪 Check them out: astrolab.space/2026/05/18/as…
We’re proud to introduce the payloads from 4 NASA centers flying aboard our FLIP rover in the second half of this year (2026)!
From a lunar dust experiment from @NASA_Johnson to a LiDAR demonstration from @NASA_Marshall, explore the FLIP NASA collaborations:

Our team first sketched the idea for our FLIP rover on the flight back from meeting with @astrobotic in late 2024. In that meeting we agreed to launching a rover to the Moon aboard their Griffin Mission One (Griffin-1). Since then, we’ve pretty much stuck to the plan first inked on that whiteboard and have turned dry erase marker into space-ready hardware.
Three solar panels in, and the results are looking powerful⚡️(humans for scale). Griffin-1 is marching towards its departure for environmental testing, a critical phase that proves it’s ready to withstand the harsh conditions of launch and space.

.@astrobotic Technology reportedly broke a hotfire record on a more efficient rocket engine designed for cislunar and logistics missions.
