NASA has awarded Astrolab and its partners a contract worth up to $1.9 billion to advance the development of the Lunar Terrain Vehicle, which will help Artemis astronauts explore more of the Moon’s surface. Astrolab is one of three teams to win contract awards. We are excited that NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration intends to use Astrolab’s Flexible Logistics & Exploration (FLEX) rover for crewed operations beginning with Artemis V in 2029, and will use the rover on prior uncrewed missions, operating FLEX remotely from Earth.

We were proud to be one of the sponsors of the Reinvented Magazine STEM Fashion Show this past weekend! The event showcased Cosmic Couture tech fashion and served as a fundraiser to support a number of STEM outreach initiatives.
First fashion show! Great to support the Cosmic Couture STEM Fashion Show in #Austin! I was very impressed with the interactive designs and the blend of STEM with Art (STEAM). Already looking forward to the next show! Caeley Looney Tricia Berry Firefly Aerospace Astrolab Empowering Women in Industry Space Prize #STEM #ART #STEMEducation #SpaceEd

"Seeing the vehicle come to life and seeing the fruits of our labor over many, many months of hard work was a big moment for me and for many of us. The same vehicle architecture and the prototype itself have both continued to serve the company well many years later." From NASA to SpaceX to Astrolab, Craig Western has had an eventful journey in the space industry. He takes us behind the scenes of what it’s like to work on a lunar rover and with his engineering team.
