Astrolab and SpaceX Join Forces: Unveiling the Game-Changing FLEX Rover for a New Era of Lunar Exploration
Astrolab, a pioneering lunar rover developer, has joined forces with SpaceX, the trailblazing aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company. The partnership aims to transport Astrolab's first rover to the moon on a future SpaceX Starship flight. This ambitious collaboration signals a new chapter in lunar exploration, with both companies committed to pushing the boundaries of space travel. Astrolab's Flexible Logistics and Exploration (FLEX) rover is at the center of this groundbreaking venture. Scheduled to be carried as a payload on a SpaceX Starship lunar lander mission as early as mid-2026, the FLEX rover represents the first commercial contract SpaceX has signed for lunar cargo delivery. This partnership will likely pave the way for similar collaborations, fueling further advancements in space exploration.
