Lunar Lander Testing Campaign Builds Confidence for Griffin-1 Moon Landing

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 30, 2025 Astrobotic is preparing for the Griffin-1 lunar landing by applying a rigorous "test like you fly" methodology designed to validate every aspect of its Guidance, Navigation, and Control system. Each subsystem, including sensors and flight software, undergoes evaluation in conditions closely mirroring those anticipated during descent and landing on the Moon. The Griffin-1 GNC integrates Ter

Griffin-1: Test Like You Fly!

Achieving a safe and precise landing on the Moon not only requires advanced software and sensors but also rigorous testing that reflects real conditions the lander will face. We employ a “test like you fly” approach to verify every critical aspect of our Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) system for descent and landing. Every component, from sensors to software, is exercised in flight-like environments so our systems perform as expected dur…
