Winsted Engineers Control Room of the Future for Historic Launch to the Moon

America hasn’t been to the surface of the Moon in nearly fifty years. But that is about to change. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based Astrobotic is a lunar logistics company providing end-to-end delivery services for payloads to the Moon.

This year, Astrobotic will be launching Peregrine Mission One, which is poised to be the first commercial mission to successfully land on another planetary body. To prepare for this historic launch, Astrobotic needed a control room expertly equipped to support their team.

Designing, engineering, and building a control room fit to support a launch to the Moon is no small feat. It requires state-of-the-art design that prioritizes functionality and ergonomics.

In preparation for the world’s first lunar landing in the last half century, Astrobotic worked with Winsted, engineers of mission critical technical furniture, to design and build their new mission control center.
