"Failed Moon Lander Set to Burn Up in Earth's Atmosphere on Jan. 18"

NASA has confirmed that Astrobotic’s Peregrine spacecraft will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere on January 18 after a propellant leak prevented it from reaching the lunar surface. Despite the setback, the mission has provided valuable data for future missions, and Astrobotic remains optimistic about its next mission to the moon with the Griffin Lander in November. The Peregrine Mission 1 was part of NASA’s CLPS program, which aims to send science missions to the moon ahead of the first Artemis crewed landing in 2026.
