SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch of private Griffin moon lander now targeting mid-2026
Update: 2025-10-29
Description
Astrobotic's Griffin-1 lunar lander, carrying a mix of NASA and commercial science gear, including two rovers, has been delayed until July 2026. The mission, originally planned for late 2025, will now launch on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The lander, which failed to reach the moon in its first attempt, has undergone extensive integration, testing, and payload swaps, including the addition of Astrolab's FLIP rover and a series of unique payloads. The mission's success could restore confidence in commercial lunar deliveries for NASA's Artemis program.
