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. 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". 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.
