Astrobotic Technology creates first-ever commercial power service for the lunar surface. It will enable space agencies, companies, and nonprofit systems to survive the lunar night and operate indefinitely on the Moon. Delivered to the lunar surface, LunaGrid will deploy its VSAT to begin generating solar power. This power will be distributed via wireless chargers and tethered CubeRovers, bringing VSAT-generated power to surface assets. Each VSAT will include the transformers and power management systems needed to extend power capabilities beyond the VSAT itself and into a fully fledged power grid.
