Astrobotic's Peregrine moon lander, carrying human remains and scientific payloads, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere over the southern Pacific Ocean today due to a fuel leak that scuttled its planned lunar landing. The company has worked with NASA to ensure a safe re-entry, with the lander likely to crash into the ocean. Despite the propulsion anomaly, the lander remains operational, and a media teleconference is planned to discuss its mission and fate.
