Astrobotic is a space company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The site says it was founded in 2007 and now has more than 130 employees. It builds and runs spacecraft, landers and rovers at its headquarters, which it calls its Moon Base.

The company works on lunar landers, rovers and surface power. It also works on spacecraft navigation, machine vision and hazard detection sensors that use machine learning. The site says it holds more than 60 NASA, Department of Defense and commercial contracts worth over 600 million dollars.
