Overview
- The companies announced a deal on June 2, 2026 under which Voyager will acquire Astrobotic in a transaction reported to be worth up to $300 million with $162 million in cash and stock, $9 million of assumed debt, and up to $129 million in milestone-based earnouts.
- The agreement is subject to customary regulatory approvals and the parties expect the transaction to close by early July 2026 as they work to preserve program schedules.
- Voyager said Astrobotic will remain based in Pittsburgh and continue operating its landers, rovers and lunar power work with leadership and facilities kept in place to maintain operational continuity.
- Voyager plans to scale Astrobotic’s technologies — including the Griffin and Peregrine landers, the LunaGrid power system, and reusable rocket efforts — while some of the deal value depends on future performance milestones.
- Astrobotic built its business largely on NASA and Defense contracts after launching the Peregrine lander in January 2024, which suffered a propulsion failure that prevented a lunar landing, and its Griffin mission carrying Astrolab’s FLIP rover remains scheduled to launch later in 2026 under NASA’s CLPS program.
