Astrolab is a US lunar-rover company (Hawthorne, founded 2020) whose FLEX rover architecture and FLIP precursor went from startup to Artemis-critical when NASA selected its CLV-1 as one of two crewed Lunar Terrain Vehicles (May 2026, ~$220M; team with Axiom Space and Interlune, delivered by Blue Moon Mk1, deployment target 2028). Its FLIP precursor passed thermal-vac and integrated testing but its launch was delayed. Revenue is estimated at 10-100m class (the CLV award recognized over performance).
