CMU and Astrobotic team up for 2021 moon landing
After almost 50 years without a visit, America is going back to the moon, and Pittsburgh-based researchers are leading the charge.
On May 31, the Strip District-based robotics company Astrobotic finalized a $79.5 million contract to deliver 14 payloads to the lunar surface starting in July of 2021. They’re one of the first private partners of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program.
