Griffin Mission One is a Voyager Lunar Systems lunar lander assigned to launch on Falcon Heavy toward Nobile Crater near the Moon’s south pole. NASA reported completion of its JPL environmental-test campaign in late September 2026, followed by a return to Pittsburgh for final assembly. The mission plans to deliver the FLIP rover and other payloads; NASA and Voyager described a late-2026 target on 13 October; a firm launch date remains unconfirmed.
