Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG) has completed its acquisition of Astrobotic Technology, Inc., with NASA awarding the combined entity a $298 million task order for two lunar lander missions under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program.

The task order, announced June 30, was not part of Astrobotic's profile when Voyager first disclosed its intent to acquire the company on June 2. Under the award, Voyager's Peregrine-2 lander is scheduled to launch in 2028, carrying three NASA payloads to a site near the Gruithuisen Domes on the near side of the Moon. The mission will measure the lunar radiation environment, study how engine plumes interact with the lunar surface during landing, and establish a navigational reference point for future spacecraft.

Astrobotic now operates as Voyager Lunar Systems, a dedicated lunar business headquartered at what the company calls its Moon Base facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John Thornton, formerly CEO of Astrobotic, continues to lead Voyager Lunar Systems. A propulsion and test facility will remain in Mojave, California.

Separately, Griffin Mission One, which NASA has designated Moon Base II, has shipped from Pittsburgh to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for environmental testing ahead of a launch targeted no earlier than November 2026. The mission carries 10 payloads from NASA, the European Space Agency, and commercial customers to the lunar South Pole.

The CLPS program targets up to 30 robotic lunar landings beginning in 2027 as part of NASA's broader Moon Base initiative under its Ignition acceleration effort.
