"Peregrine Moon Lander Failure Sparks New Investigation and Future Plans"

Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander mission ended with a reentry into Earth's atmosphere due to a propellant leak, prompting the company to initiate a formal investigation. The decision to allow the reentry was made in consultation with NASA, and the company is now focusing on understanding the cause of the failure. Despite not landing on the moon, the mission still provided valuable data, and Astrobotic is continuing work on its larger lander, Griffin, which is scheduled to transport NASA's VIPER rover to the moon's south pole in November.
