Astrobotic
Astrobotic is a Lunar & Planetary company founded in 2007 and based in Pittsburgh, United States. It has raised $2.5M in total funding, most recently a Seed in 2016.
Founded in 2007 and led by CEO John Thornton, Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic develops commercial lunar delivery, rovers, and surface infrastructure. Its Peregrine Mission One in January 2024 was the first US commercial lunar lander to fly, though a propellant leak prevented a Moon landing; the larger Griffin lander follows for NASA payloads. Astrobotic also builds the small CubeRover and the LunaGrid power-generation-and-distribution concept for a sustained lunar presence. On June 2, 2026 Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) announced a definitive agreement to acquire Astrobotic in a cash-and-stock deal valued up to roughly $300 million including earnouts, expected to close by early July 2026 subject to regulatory approvals, with Astrobotic continuing to operate from Pittsburgh and Mojave.
It is a pioneer of US commercial lunar delivery and is building the power and mobility infrastructure for a long-term Moon economy.
