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.

Interstellar Lab’s Bloom prototype made a memorable debut at the XPRIZE #Visioneering 2024 in California where we presented Mission Little Prince! Bloom arrived in style onboard Astrolab ‘s FLEX rover, driven by Astrolab CEO Jaret Matthews and astronaut Dr. Sian “Leo” Proctor, Ph.D. We also had the honor of introducing Mission Little Prince to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Soon there will be roses growing on the moon! 🌹 🌕 #XPRIZE #Visioneering #InterstellarLab #MissionLittlePrince
