Astrobotic to Join Voyager Technologies, Accelerating America’s Moon Base
Acquisition strengthens Pennsylvania’s leadership in lunar delivery, lunar power, and robotics
PITTSBURGH, June 2, 2026 — Astrobotic Technology, Inc., America’s pioneer in commercial lunar delivery, lunar power, and reusable rocketry, announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Voyager Technologies (NYSE: VOYG). The transaction marks a major milestone in Astrobotic’s nearly two‑decade mission to make the Moon accessible and to build the infrastructure needed for a continuous U.S. presence on the lunar surface.
Under the agreement, Astrobotic will become a core pillar of Voyager’s strategic lunar initiative, providing the hardware, systems, and operational capabilities required to land on the Moon, sustain life there, and perform critical work on the surface.
“From Day One, Astrobotic set out to prove that commercial companies can deliver to the lunar surface,” said John Thornton, CEO of Astrobotic. “Joining Voyager provides the scale, resources, and long-term commitment our mission calls for. Our team, our technology, and our homes in Pittsburgh and Mojave remain at the center of what we’re building. Together with Voyager, we can accelerate the timeline for establishing America’s Moon Base.”
Voyager intends to accelerate investment to scale Astrobotic’s programs, including lunar systems and reusable rocket development, key elements needed to support NASA’s Artemis program and Administrator Jared Isaacman’s goal of a permanent U.S. presence on the Moon by 2028.
- Mission management, communications, and propulsion
- Surface delivery through Astrobotic’s Peregrine and Griffin landers
- Surface power via Astrobotic’s LunaGrid solar distribution system
- Long-duration habitation through Voyager’s investment in Max Space
- Dust mitigation with Voyager’s clear dust-repellent coating
- In-situ resource utilization technologies
Astrobotic’s Moon Base headquarters in Pittsburgh will become the center of Voyager’s strategic lunar initiative, ensuring continuity and momentum for upcoming missions. Griffin Mission One continues on schedule, and upon closing, Astrobotic’s full portfolio will transition under Voyager while maintaining operational stability and leadership continuity.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by early July 2026.
Stifel served as exclusive financial advisor to Astrobotic with respect to this transaction, and Babst Calland served as lead counsel for Astrobotic in connection with this transaction.
