Case Study: Astrolab streamlines rover development and saves 5,000 hours with Sift

Going to the Moon with Astrolab

Astrolab, a company developing lunar rovers, faced the challenge of transitioning from its initial feasibility phase to building its FLEX rover without efficient data management tools. To avoid technical debt and keep its engineers focused on core development, the company sought a solution and partnered with Sift for its unified observability platform.

By implementing Sift, Astrolab gained a complete telemetry stack for data access, storage, and visualization. The solution provided crucial capabilities for hardware testing, simulation, and collaboration, saving the company over 5000 hours of developer time and more than $100,000 in costs. This early strategic decision with Sift positioned Astrolab for long-term success, including supporting a major NASA contract.
