The decision to pursue a 2024 delivery date stems from the agency’s request to Astrobotic for additional ground testing of the company’s Griffin lunar lander, which will deliver VIPER to the Moon’s South Pole through our Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS initiative. The additional tests are aimed at reducing the overall risk involved with delivering the rover to the Moon.
