Episode 1: Astrobotics
In the first episode of Engineering Space, we meet Pittsburgh-based Astrobotics. The space company aims to make?space missions feasible and more affordable for science, exploration, and commerce.?
They define themselves as a lunar logistics company, intending to provide end-to-end delivery services for payloads to the Moon.
The company works out of the?largest private facility in the world dedicated to lunar logistics.?In this impressive 47,000-square-foot complex, Astrobotic builds and operates its lines of landers, rovers, autonomous spacecraft navigation systems, and other space technologies.?
Once operational, payloads will be controlled directly from the Astrobotic Mission Control Center inside their headquarters located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s North Side.

Developing lightweight moon rovers
The team is developing two rovers specifically for Moon exploration.?The
CubeRover is a super-light modular vehicle?designed to provide affordable mobility for scientific instruments and other payloads to operate on the surface of the Moon. Because CubeRover can be as light as just four kilograms — it can contribute to reduced flight costs, making the Moon more accessible.?
In this episode of Engineering Space,?we follow along with Astrobotics engineers as they do mobility testing on the engineering model of their CubeRover?.?
It's the first time the team has tested the rover with its MLI (Multilayer Insulation) and electronics package. The testing will compare the engineering model with other models in development.?
