Voyager Technologies signed an agreement to acquire Astrobotic Technology, the Pittsburgh-based pioneer of commercial lunar delivery, lunar power and reusable rockets. Astrobotic is a key strategic acquisition in the company’s lunar initiative road map: the hardware and operational capability to land on the lunar surface, sustain life and execute critical missions.

“We are building the infrastructure foundation that will make America’s permanent presence on the Moon a reality,” said Dylan Taylor, Chairman & CEO, Voyager. “Achieving 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.”

The acquisition directly supports NASA’s Artemis program and Administrator Jared Isaacman’s commitment to a permanent American presence on the Moon by 2028. Voyager intends to accelerate investment to scale Astrobotic’s lunar and reusable rocket programs in support of America’s Moon Base plans.

Following Voyager’s strategic investment in Max Space’s expandable habitat architecture, the company’s capabilities will span the full arc of lunar operation. This includes lunar mission management, communications and propulsion; surface delivery via Astrobotic’s Peregrine and Griffin landers; surface power through Astrobotic's LunaGrid solar distribution system; long-duration habitation through Max Space; dust mitigation with Voyager’s clear-dust repellent coating; and in-situ resource production.

“Astrobotic was built to prove that commercial companies can deliver to the Moon,” said John Thornton, CEO, Astrobotic. “Joining 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.”

Recently announced as NASA’s Moon Base II, Griffin Mission One proceeds on schedule. At acquisition close, Astrobotic’s full portfolio will transition under Voyager. Their Moon Base headquarters in Pittsburgh will serve as the center of Voyager’s lunar program, ensuring the continuity and momentum this work demands. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by early July 2026 for up to approximately $300 million, including contingent consideration, payable in a combination of cash and stock.
