Astrobotic Technology is a privately held seed-stage company formed by Carnegie Mellon professor Red Whittaker and his associates, with the goal of winning the Google Lunar X Prize.^[1] The team is ambitious; they hope to be the first to land their spacecraft "Red Rover" on the Moon, using the lander, named "Artemis Lander".^[2] To accomplish this task, Astrobotic has formed strategic partnerships with Raytheon and the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. The company is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
