As humanity expands its reach within and across space, the ability to robotically assemble, service and manufacture assets in space will be essential for safety and sustainability.
For more than two decades, Maxar robotics have empowered innovative commercial and government programs, including robotic arms on six of NASA’s Mars rovers and landers, which rely on Maxar robotic arms to dig, drill, sample and explore the Martian surface.

Maxar robotic capabilities will be demonstrated during NASA’s SAMPLR mission on the lunar surface, such as gathering geotechnical data and collecting regolith. Part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, this mission supports NASA's Artemis program to establish a long-term presence at the Moon.
Missions include:
From systems and software to testing and operations, Maxar has extensive experience integrating in-house robotics and spacecraft systems for turn key solutions. We combine our long heritage of providing space infrastructure with a commercial mindset.
Our Robotics missions have more than 42 arm years in space, and six robotic arms on Mars. Maxar continues to lead the industry with experience and reliability, and more professionals on our team focused exclusively on Robotics.
