Denver-based Voyager\u2019s acquisition is an effort to expand its ability to provide a full suite of lunar hardware and operations capability and cash in on what is expected to be a lucrative lunar economy in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are building the infrastructure foundation that will make America\u2019s permanent presence on the moon a reality,\u201d said Voyager Chairman and CEO Dylan Taylor in a press release. \u201cAchieving that vision requires robust operational systems that match the resilience necessary for critical, repeatable missions. With Astrobotic, Voyager is now a lunar platform that will have capability at every infrastructure layer needed to put Americans on the lunar surface and keep them there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The $300 million transaction is expected to close by early July 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n<p>NASA recently outlined its roadmap for its moon base on the lunar south pole and the first missions under what the agency had previously announced would include $40 billion in additional investment into the 2030s.<\/p>\n<p>Astrobotic already has a foothold in NASA\u2019s plans. It had already attempted on lunar landing mission in 2024 with its Peregrine lander under NASA\u2019s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. That lander ultimately did not make it to the moon, but the company\u2019s larger Griffin lander is on track to launch before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=2448\">Despite explosion, Blue Origin CEO says New Glenn will fly before end of year<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Including the CLPS missions, Astrobotic has won more than 60 NASA, Department of Defense and commercial technology contracts worth more than $600 million.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Voyager\u2019s release said it intends to \u201caccelerate investment to scale Astrobotic\u2019s lunar and reusable rocket programs in support of America\u2019s moon base plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Voyager also recently invested in the company Max Space, which designs\u00a0expandable habitat architecture. Combined, the company has now touts its ability to provide lunar mission management, communications and propulsion; surface delivery from Astrobotic\u2019s two landers; surface power through an Astrobotic solar distribution system called LunaGrid; long-duration habitation from its Max Space investment; dust mitigation with Voyager\u2019s clear-dust repellent coating; and in-situ resource production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAstrobotic was built to prove that commercial companies can deliver to the moon,\u201d said Astrobotic CEO John Thornton. \u201cJoining Voyager gives that mission the scale and long-term commitment it has been building toward for nearly two decades. Our team, our technology and our homes in Pittsburgh and Mojave remain at the center of what we are building, and now we have a partner with the breadth of capabilities and resources to realize a continuous presence on the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the deal is complete, Astrobotic\u2019s full portfolio will transition to Voyager, and Astrobotic\u2019s moon base headquarters in Pittsburgh will become the center of Voyager\u2019s lunar program. Astrobotic also has a propulsion and test campus in Mojave, California.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Griffin lander is close to flight readiness and will be launched from Kennedy Space Center. Also a CLPS mission, Astrobotic recently announced launch is targeting late 2026. It seeks to deliver its main payload, Venturi Astrolab\u2019s lunar FLIP rover headed for the moon\u2019s south pole.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=2446\">Best Toilet Seats<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voyager Technologies announced Tuesday it plans to acquire Astrobotic Technology, the company that&#8217;s vying to become the next to stick a lander on the moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
