TL;DR Summary

Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander, which experienced a propulsion system leak after its launch, is still operational and has an estimated 48 hours of fuel remaining due to a slowed leak rate. Despite the setback, the lander's payloads are successfully collecting data for science, and NASA plans to extend the mission to continue data collection efforts. The mission, a joint effort with NASA, aims to provide valuable experience and scientific data for future lunar deliveries, and includes the Iris Lunar Rover built by Carnegie Mellon University students.
