We are issuing a correction to the Peregrine Post-Mission Report which was distributed yesterday, August 27. On page 6, the correct categorization of the cargo aboard Griffin Mission One includes a "joint rover demonstration mission with Astrobotic’s CubeRover integrated with Mission Control’s Spacefarer operations platform."

In the spirit of increasing the likelihood of future mission success for all, today we published our Peregrine Post-Mission Report. The report includes an overview of the mission, anomaly findings, and a path forward. We are on the brink of an exciting and sustainable lunar future, and Astrobotic will continue reaching for the Moon. https://t.co/eqXBJfJHzl

"As NASA continues exploring the moon’s southern polar region to find ice, USF engineers are developing technology to make landing on the moon safer and less expensive...Known as A-LiST, the USF invention [precision terrain mapping technology] was integrated onto the lunar logistics company Astrobotic’s Xodiac rocket-powered lander for a flight that simulated a lunar landing."

NASA’s permanent presence on the moon could begin with USF-invented mapping technology

Get ready for a celestial spectacle! The Perseid meteor shower is making its annual debut over the next few days, and it's set to be a dazzling show. Tomorrow should be peak viewing, with up to 100 meteors per hour streaking across the night sky. Best viewing time is after midnight, when the skies are darkest. Find a spot away from city lights, bring a blanket, and let the cosmic fireworks light up your night! Happy stargazing! Image Credit: Jeff Krugh - Lead Software Engineer, Astrobotic

Astrobotic has been selected by NASA for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to develop an Extra Large Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT-XL) for the Moon. VSAT-XL's impressive size, 34m tall and 12.5m wide, would be the largest planned lunar power infrastructure technology to date to meet the growing energy demands on the lunar surface. This new array will build on the 10kW lunar VSAT already in development at Astrobotic under an existing NASA contract. VSAT-XL, like its smaller cousin, is a deployable, relocatable, self-leveling, sun-tracking solar powered system. However, it is designed to increase power output from 10 kW to 50 kW. https://buff.ly/3WAiSYO

The more we study the Moon, the more we find out that it's, well, weird. Did you know, the Moon pulls on the Earth, causing our planet to be slightly egg-shaped? It affects water even more, creating tides and causing the oceans to pile up towards one side of the planet, forming a ‘tidal bulge’. So, while we experience tides as the water moving in and out, it's *actually* the Earth itself rotating into and out of this bulge. Image Credit: NASA/Vi Nguyen
