Thanks to some creative unfolding with design and test heritage from our FLEX rover, our stowed CLV-1 measures approximately 2 x 2.3 x 2.2 meters on its journey to the Moon and unfolds after deploying onto the lunar surface. Limbs are deployed into the driving configuration using actuators linked...

FLEX is ready to take on the lunar surface. With a 2-ton payload capacity, our FLEX rover is prepared to support the needs of the lunar economy and construct necessary lunar infrastructure. FLEX’s airless tires have survived multiple tests in environments analogous to the Moon’s harsh conditions, possessing the ability to navigate terrain up to a 26-degree slope. From serving as transport for astronauts to autonomously deploying scientific payloads to laying out cable to support power infrastructure, FLEX is flexible. Our lunar rover is up for whatever is needed to help humanity not just survive but thrive on the Moon.

When FLEX lands on the lunar surface, it will be the largest and most capable rover to ever travel to the Moon. But while getting there, it becomes much smaller! FLEX was designed to fill less cargo space during its ride to the Moon and deploy to full size once on the surface.

Endurance, our MK1 lunar lander, has entered Chamber A for approximately 11 days of TVAC testing to simulate the extreme thermal and vacuum conditions it will experience in space and on the lunar surface. Thanks to the team @NASA_Johnson for the collaboration as we reach this critical step on our path to the Moon.

Testing the next lunar rover. Fun to go to the hottest place on Earth to help develop Astrolab's FLEX vehicle. It has multiple cool new tech ideas, to be used when the FLIP version rolls on the Moon soon. Advances from both are being built into the CLV-1 Crewed Lunar Vehicle that NASA chose for Moon Base - will go over 6 mph, directly and remotely piloted.

Astrolab is gearing up to send its FLEX lunar rover to the Moon aboard a SpaceX Starship, marking a major step forward in lunar exploration. Roughly the size of an SUV, the rover is built to carry two astronauts while also being capable of remote operation from Earth. Designed for future missions, FLEX will play a key role in helping crews explore and navigate the Moon’s south pole, supporting both human presence and robotic operations on the lunar surface.

Since the initial design of the modular FLEX rover, Astrolab has focused on developing a mobility solution to meet the near- and long-term needs of the lunar economy. Use cases include everything from transporting large payloads on the lunar surface in lander-agnostic containers to deploying essential lunar infrastructure. Activities like rolling out cables are crucial for establishing and connecting alternative power sources on the Moon. For example, cable roll-out is key in the deployment and operations of fission power systems and other critical infrastructure. Early in rover development, we performed field tests of custom payloads that could support power and comms infrastructure, collect samples, and facilitate the use of lunar resources. These tests informed the development of our design to ensure FLEX is as “flexible” as possible.

More than a year of work on the FLEX-LTV design culminated last month with a week of detailed presentations and demos to NASA for the Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract Preliminary Design Review. From showcasing the FLEX rover's hardware and the tests we have put it through to our mission control setup to our FLIP test vehicle, we were proud to exhibit what our team has created. In addition to welcoming representatives from NASA, we were joined by our partners from Axiom Space and Odyssey Space Research who have contributed invaluable work to making FLEX the highly capable rover it is today. Thanks to our partners, NASA, and our hardworking Astrolab team!

No tire shops on the moon. These tires, built with strategic partner VENTURI Space, have been tested on 11 platforms, from NASA's Glenn Research Center to Switzerland. They go on FLIP, CLV-1, and every FLEX rover we build. The Moon doesn’t forgive untested assumptions. We test here so it works there.
