The brief

Analyst view

• Peregrine lander failed January 2024 with propulsion anomaly. Now develops Griffin, infrastructure-class lander.
• Griffin deploys Astrolab FLIP rover to south pole on Falcon Heavy, November 2026.
• Voyager Technologies acquired Astrobotic in July 2026, integrating lunar logistics with Starlab space station.

Technical approach

As reported

Infrastructure class
