LunaGrid-Lite Program

Astrobotic's LunaGrid-Lite is an active NASA Tipping Point demonstration of tethered high-voltage power transmission on the lunar surface. A CubeRover deployed from an Astrobotic lander will unreel a long cable and transmit power across the regolith, advancing lunar power distribution toward commercial and Artemis operations.
