The concept is simple – accommodate multiple customers on a single space flight to maximize flexibility and keep costs down. Astrobotic flies hardware systems into space for companies, governments, and universities. The goal is to deliver affordable space robotic products, services, and missions for the emerging commercial space markets, sparking a new era of space exploration, science, space tourism, resource utilization and mining in the process. Hear from president, John Thornton, as he brings us up to date with the progress of Astrobotic, a candidate for the Google Lunar XPRIZE.
