$300 million is the reported value of Voyager Technologies' acquisition of Astrobotic, with the Pittsburgh company saying its North Side headquarters will become the center of Voyager's lunar program.
Voyager, a Denver-based public company serving defense and aerospace markets, is taking over Astrobotic to add scale, funding and longer-term backing for its lunar ambitions.
Griffin-1, Astrobotic's lunar lander, is still expected to launch later this year, giving the deal immediate relevance for the combined company's moon plans.
The transaction still needs regulatory approval and is expected to close by early July, as Voyager pushes to build out lunar infrastructure tied to a broader U.S. moon-base effort.
