Astrobotic

Astrobotic Technology is a private American aerospace manufacturer specialising in lunar logistics and space infrastructure. The organisation functions as a primary contractor for payload delivery to the Moon, providing end-to-end mission services that include spacecraft integration, launch procurement, and planetary surface operations. Its position in the value chain is that of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for autonomous robotic systems designed for extraterrestrial environments. The organisation’s core portfolio is centred on the Peregrine and Griffin lunar landers, as well as the CubeRover line of planetary explorers. It is a significant partner to NASA under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, intended to support the Artemis programme. Beyond government agencies, its customer base includes commercial research institutions and international space agencies seeking to deploy instruments, sensors, and technology demonstrators to the lunar surface. Prospective partners should evaluate the organisation's specific flight heritage and mission success rates, particularly regarding autonomous precision landing and hazard avoidance systems. It is essential to verify current launch schedules and the specific payload capacity available for upcoming mission manifests. Furthermore, buyers should confirm compliance with international planetary protection protocols and export control regulations relevant to dual-use space technologies.
