"Failed Lunar Landers: Earth-bound Fate for Commercial Moon Missions"

Astrobotic Technology's lunar lander, Peregrine, will burn up in Earth's atmosphere after a failed moonshot due to a fuel leak. The company is working with NASA to track its path and ensure no safety risk during reentry. The decision to end the mission was made to avoid endangering satellites and future spacecraft. NASA had paid over $100 million for experiments on the lander, which also carried a rover, privately sponsored research, and the ashes and DNA of about 70 individuals.
