Griffin Mission One

Wiki

Astrobotic's Griffin lander is a lunar lander contracted by NASA as part of the Commercial Lunar Payloads Services (CLPS) program. Multiple scientific payloads will likely be included on Griffin's exterior. VIPER was previously planned as a primary payload on the Griffin lander before the VIPER project was discontinued. The vacated payload spot will now host the FLIP (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform) lunar rover from Astrolab.
