About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $1,008,932.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Astrobotic Technology Inc., a Pittsburgh-based space robotics company. The contract supports the development of a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-based hazard detection sensor for Astrobotic's Griffin Lander, which will deliver NASA's Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) to the South Pole of the Moon in 2023. The LiDAR sensor will be used to detect rocks, craters, and slopes during the lunar landing to ensure a safe and precise touchdown. This contract is not set aside and will run through July 30, 2026. Astrobotic, the prime contractor, has a history of securing federal contracts and grants, including Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with NASA and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, to advance space exploration technologies.
