According to a recent LinkedIn post from Astrolab, the company is continuing its collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) on space-based computing and data management through HPE’s Spaceborne Computer program. The post notes that HPE has previously tested edge computing aboard the International Space Station and indicates that Astrolab’s FLIP and FLEX platforms are involved in enabling the lunar phase of this effort.

The LinkedIn post also references a 2025 visit by the HPE team to Astrolab for payload testing ahead of HPE’s first mission to the Moon. A quoted comment from HPE’s Spaceborne Computer-2 principal investigator suggests that prior learnings in AI, machine learning, data compression, cybersecurity, and other applications will be extended to lunar operations in partnership with Astrolab.
The post suggests that this collaboration positions Astrolab as an enabling partner for on-site compute infrastructure critical to future lunar activities. For investors, such a role could create exposure to emerging revenue streams in space-based data processing, mission support services, and infrastructure deployment as commercial and governmental lunar programs scale.
By aligning with an established enterprise IT vendor such as HPE, Astrolab may be strengthening its credibility and technical ecosystem in the nascent lunar economy. If the partnership progresses from testing to operational deployments, it could enhance Astrolab’s competitive position in lunar logistics and infrastructure while potentially creating a differentiated offering in edge computing for space applications.
