Moon Base II / Astrobotic Griffin Mission One is a mission record in the MoonOpps lunar catalog (2026–2035), tracked for 2026 (Late 2026 (Astrobotic) / NET July 2026 (NASA, stale)). Status: Planned; lander unveiled, entering environmental testing (mid-June 2026). Class: Robotic lander + rover delivery. Source confidence is High — corroborated by clear official or primary sources. The record links 9 actors, 2 payloads, 1 region, and 2 cited sources. Tracked actors include Astrobotic, Venturi Astrolab, NASA, NASA, and others. Payloads include Payload suite from NASA, ESA, Venturi Astrolab and Astrobotic, Astrolab FLIP rover with 10 additional payloads including four NASA-partner payloads. Target region: Nobile Crater near lunar South Pole. Live funding overlay: $522.3M in reported awards across 2 records, 2 with a SAM.gov-verified recipient (as of 2026-06-14); IDIQ ceilings are flagged as not mission spend. Catalog figures come from public sources, not predictions or live scraping, accessed through 2026-06-09.

Moon Base II / Astrobotic Griffin Mission One
Notes
Launch-window sources conflict and are both carried without picking one: operator Astrobotic states late 2026, while NASA's mission event page shows NET July 2026 but is stale (page last updated ~2026-04-29). Milestone: Griffin lander unveiled and entering environmental testing ~2026-06-15. Earlier NASA CLPS pages still show older Griffin timing/site language; the Moon Base page is treated as the fresher source.
Live funding
moonopps-statusOverlaid live from the moat (the curated record above is unchanged). Verified funding requires a SAM.gov-confirmed recipient UEI; everything else reads as reported, not confirmed spend.
