Astrobotic Griffin-1 | Nobile Region

Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission One (Griffin-1) is a lunar lander mission that will land at the lunar South Pole in 2025. Currently aboard are NASA's Laser RetroReflector Array, The European Space Agency Landcam-X, Astrobotic's CubeRover, Astrolab's FLIP Rover, and NanoFiche's Galatic Library to Preserve Humanity.

NanoFiche™ | GLPH

NanoFiche is a revolutionary analog storage technology engineered to preserve humanity’s most vital knowledge against the relentless passage of time. Unlike digital storage, which hinges on electricity, file formats, and continuous technological maintenance, NanoFiche physically engraves data onto ultra-durable metal using precision laser technology.

The result is a microscopic archive of text, images, and diagrams, scaled smaller than a grain of sand, yet fully legible under a microscope with only optics and a light source. By eliminating reliance on software, operating systems, or updates, NanoFiche ensures direct, failure-proof access to content.

  • John Thornton, Astrobotic’s founder and CEO

    Griffin-1 is carrying a suite of incredible payloads like Astrobotic’s own CubeRover and Astrolab’s FLIP (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform) rover. We’re pleased to have Nanofiche’s important archive aboard, whichhas the potential to be the long-term data archival solution of choice in terrestrial applications

  • Michael Sorkin - Co-Founder, Barrelhand

    The Memory Disc required a medium capable of preserving dense visual data over geological timescales, without reliance on power or electronics. NanoFiche offered the necessary stability, resolution, and passive readability to meet those constraints.

  • Sam Peralta PhD - Founder, The Lunar Codex

    We’ve launched fragments of human creativity beyond Earth—not in pixels, but in permanence. NanoFiche has been our trusted medium, a timeless vessel for the Lunar Codex. With GLPH, this archive grows into something greater: a living testament to imagination itself—so that even when memory fades, meaning endures.

  • Samantha Tauber, VNCCII

    NanoFiche is nothing short of visionary. It transforms a dream into reality: a time capsule that carries our stories, our spirit, and our legacy into the stars. For future generations and other intelligences who may one day discover it, this capsule offers a glimpse into the heart of what it means to be human.
