Astrobotic’s Post
Congrats to Astrobot Ander A. Solorzano for winning last month's Goose Award 🥇 - acknowledging people who embody the spirit of collaboration & teamwork. Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing since you started at Astrobotic? A: Without a doubt, I would say the significant work and contribution that culminated in our lunar mission contract (TO2) has been the most satisfying accomplishment. This marked the culmination and success story of a lot of tedious, passionate, and thoughtful engineering work performed through our previous years with every member who worked on it. I still cannot believe how we went from a team of 8 dedicated engineers to over 70 in just over a year. I’m extremely happy to continue this work and development forward while working and leading with a capable, diverse, and passionate team from multiple engineering disciplines as we seek to achieve the first commercial lander soft landing on the Moon. Q: What do you like most about your job? A: I really enjoy working with every engineer on the team. In particular, I enjoy solving some of the most complex problems and challenges we face as we are building our lunar lander. I admire the creativity, engineering, and rational thought process that some of our engineers demonstrate to come to a resolution.

“This success marks a major program milestone for Peregrine mission as well as for Astrobotic as a company. Confirming the technical capabilities of our team and our custom-built avionics and communications systems in a sophisticated, system-level spacecraft test was a tremendous success. Seeing the entire team overcome test challenges felt close to flying the actual mission. This is a great accomplishment for our historic trip to the Moon,” - Ander Solorzano, Flight Director & Lead Systems Engineer https://lnkd.in/eE4cXkEt #NASA #space #success
On this #InternationalMoonDay, we're honoring the past and looking ahead to when Peregrine lands on the Moon later this year. With 24 payloads and tens of thousands of individuals joining us through our DHL #MoonBox program, we're humbled to have so many of you aboard.
“We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth,” - Astronaut Bill Anders. Happy Day, everyone. We are honored to be leading America back to the Moon so soon after the 50th anniversary of #Apollo
