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.
The Artemis III crew has already made an impact on our lunar rovers. Artemis III Commander @AstroKomrade and Mission Specialist Frank Rubio participated in human factor testing of our FLEX rover mockup in 2024. They tested every interaction point on the FLEX mockup in full EVA suits: hatches, controls, handholds, ingress and egress. Their feedback shaped our design.
Pit stop on the way to the Moon. FLIP headed to Element U.S. Space & Defense this week for final preflight testing. First up: Mass Properties testing. This provides final details about characteristics like the rover’s center of gravity and moments of inertia. Next on the docket: vibration testing and the rover’s last thermal and vacuum chamber (TVAC) test. The Moon is harsh and unrelenting. But these tests ensure FLIP is ready.
Thanks to some creative unfolding with design and test heritage from our FLEX rover, our stowed CLV-1 measures approximately 2 x 2.3 x 2.2 meters on its journey to the Moon and unfolds after deploying onto the lunar surface. Limbs are deployed into the driving configuration using actuators linked to the suspension assemblies. These also allow the chassis to be raised and lowered to the ground to make it easier for Artemis crews to get in and out. Fully unfolded, the rover sits approximately 4 x 2.3 x 2.6 meters.
Congratulations to NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Luca Parmitano on being selected for Artemis III. We look forward to your mission, a crucial step toward humanity’s return to the Moon.
No tire shops on the moon. These tires, built with strategic partner @Venturi Space, have been tested on 11 platforms, from NASA's Glenn Research Center to Switzerland. They go on FLIP, CLV-1, and every FLEX rover we build. The Moon doesn’t forgive untested assumptions. We test here so it works there.
The Salt Lake City School District Moon Mission Symposium, made possible by the Salt Lake Education Foundation, brought together students, educators, and community partners to celebrate student work in STEM, storytelling, and space exploration. Over 2,000 students from the SLC School District will be sending their projects to the Moon later this year. Through Starborn Academy, students studied science and technology, explored career pathways, developed Moon Mission projects, and shared their ideas with judges, guests, and community leaders. Selected students from participating middle schools will represent their schools at @NASAKennedy , where they will watch their projects launch to the Moon aboard @Astrolab_Space's FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform (FLIP) rover as part of the @voyagertech_ Griffin-1 mission. We are grateful to the partners who helped make this program and event possible: @slcschools, @Team_SLEF, @Astrolab_Space, astronaut @DrSianProctor, @Boeing, and the @slcecondev. Thank you to @BrandonFugal, astronaut Laura Stiles, and Brendan Hall for speaking with students and helping them connect their classroom learning to real-world exploration, creativity, and opportunity. $nrpi
We're hiring Avionics, Software, and Vehicle Engineers at Astrolab! If you're interested in working on cutting-edge lunar mobility systems, we have openings across rover navigation, FPGA, perception, power systems engineering, and more. Explore all positions here: astrolab.pinpointhq.com/en
@Cmdr_Hadfield We love having you out for testing! Thanks for helping shape the next generation of lunar mobility.
Testing the next lunar rover. Fun to go to the hottest place on Earth to help develop @Astrolab_Space's FLEX vehicle. It has multiple cool new tech ideas, to be used when the FLIP version rolls on the Moon soon. Advances from both are being built into the CLV-1 Crewed Lunar Vehicle that @NASA chose for Moon Base - will go over 6 mph, directly and remotely piloted.
Our FLIP rover is now attached to @astrobotic hardware! FLIP was recently stacked and integrated onto the cone and ramps of the Astrobotic Griffin lander, the rover’s ride to the Moon.
Our FLIP mission launching in the second half of this year (2026) will directly support the development of our Crewed Lunar Vehicle (CLV-1). The tires, batteries and wheel actuators developed for our FLIP and FLEX rovers by Astrolab’s strategic partner, Venturi Space will also be used by CLV-1. FLIP will test our hardware in the lunar environment, as well as validate our rover software and processes.
Yesterday we introduced CLV-1 (Crewed Lunar Vehicle). Let's explore the use-cases it was designed for and engineered to accomplish: -Consistent with NASA’s requirements, CLV-1 is designed primarily to transport astronauts and their supplies. -Conduct surface operations remotely. -CLV-1 shares hardware with our FLEX rover, using the same tires, batteries and wheel actuators developed by our strategic partner, Venturi Space. -When stowed on a Commercial Lunar Payload Services lander for delivery to the Moon, CLV-1 measures approximately 2 meters by 2.3 meters by 2.2 meters. -Once deployed, CLV-1 will measure approximately 4 meters long by 2.3 meters wide by 2.6 meters high to the top of its antenna. -CLV-1 has a maximum mass of 950 kilograms and can reach speeds of 10 kilometers per hour on level ground. -CLV-1 is the first in Astrolab’s planned CLV line, with future vehicles expected to be designated CLV-2, CLV-3 and so on.
@InterluneSpace @NASA We’re excited to be working with you! Next stop, the Moon! 🌖
Copy, Moon Joy(rides)! Over the next 18 months, our selected providers – Astrolab and Lunar Outpost – will finalize designs for Moon rovers that astronauts will drive to travel, transport supplies, and support remote operations. nasa.gov/news-release/n…
We are proud to be partnering with @Axiom_Space, @OdysseySpaceRes and @InterluneSpace to deliver CLV-1 and related services capable of supporting NASA crewed and robotic surface missions. Thanks also to strategic partner @Venturi Space who is providing important technology to CLV-1 like tires and batteries.
The #AxEMU's ride on the Moon has been secured. “We’re proud to support @Astrolab_Space on the Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services program, as @NASA advances human exploration at the lunar south pole,” said Russell Ralston, senior vice president, spacecraft development, Axiom Space.
@JoeTegtmeyer @NASAMoonBase Thank you! Next stop, the Moon! 🌖
